Terry Pratchett
Gundark:
Much love for Terry Pratchett. Been reading his stuff since about 89 or so, I guess. His Alzheimer's weighs heavily on my mind.
Thanks for mentioning him, Jeph.

You're not alone in that.

My favourite character is Lord Vetinari, followed by the Guards and Moist von Lipwig. Being a city boy, I guess I like the urban satires the best.
The best bit about Terry Pratchett is that on any one reading, you only get about half the jokes and still find it hilarious. The next reading you'll latch onto different jokes and enjoy it just as much.
bbqrocks:
Lord Vetinari, Captain Vimes and Granny Weatherwax are obvious favourites of mine.
The best thing about terry pratchett is what the person above me said! And also the rereadability of the books! I must have read each one more than thrice, at least.
daedalus1982:
I like the character dynamics best. His characters aren't just awesome, they really shine when they're forced to interact
Vimes and Vetinari aka the Terrier and the Dog Botherer. I may have just gotten that joke :-)
Carrot and Vetinari aka the King and the Despot with similar intentions and completely different methods
Weatherwax and Reverend Oats aka the best dang essay on religion ever
Detritus and Cuddy
Angua and Gaspode
hell even Colon and Nobby.
the best moments in his books are when two or more highly evolved and detailed characters interact.
