Moist Von Lipwig
KvP:
I started reading Pratchett via Going Postal, and I loved it.
I was really hoping there was more Lipwig books. Good to see there are.
Neskah:
Ach! I'm still waiting for this book to go into soft cover.
I never borrow books, I buy them. Which means I buy two or three a week. A rather expensive addiction. Sadly I also prefer most of my books to match the series, so if I didn't buy the first in hard cover, I can't buy any of the others in hard cover.
I started reading Pratchett 13 years ago at the start of the series, and agree he only gets better (with the exeption of Maskerade and Lords and Ladies).
Hazzah for the return of Moist!
Jackie Blue:
Wait, what? Lords and Ladies is one of my top 5, maybe even top 3 Disc books? What's not to like about it? The whole Granny/Ridcully story, the Elves were great villains, Magrat's marriage antics...) I've only read maybe 10 of the Disc books more than once and it's one of them.
I also recall enjoying Maskerade.
I'd say the weak links in the chain are The Last Continent (Australia = LOL), Soul Music (something just was "off" with it) and Monstrous Regiment (not a bad novel, but had almost nothing to do with the Disc series and was too depressing; I don't think I laughed even once).
bbqrocks:
I need to get back into discworld (not physically, of course).
What is this new making money one? I liked the truth a lot...
And going postal was excellent. I do like the old witch ones though..And the wizard ones too.
Tom:
I like Monstrous Regiment a lot more than Equal Rites because it deftly satirised Joan of Arc, WWI and the Napoleonic Wars and because it deftly handled feminism, gender equality and crossdressing in wartime.
The Discworld series has been getting much better over the latter part of the 90's and now. I'm really glad that Pratchett has avoided using Rincewind again. Some more Susan books would be very welcome but as everything stands we should just enjoy whatever he has offer us.
But seriously, if you like Pratchett you might get a kick out of Jasper Fforde.
