Terry Pratchett
snalin:
I hadn't heard either. God damn. Too sad.
My favourites are probably the ones with Tiffany Aching and the Nac Mac Feegles. They are brilliant. There's also the The Bromeliad Trilogy. I don't know why, but the innocent tales of small people struggling against the big world is just at the same time hilarious and... I don't know. I've always liked the Hobbit better then LoTR.
Then again, Monstrous Regiment was amazing, Vimes is just made out of win and the whole universe is filled with so much good stuff that you cannot really compare it to anything else. Terry Pratchett has managed what few others have, writing an immense amount of books and still keeping the quality up there with the best.
Muppet King:
Not even close to an American accent.
The Susan/Death books are my current favorites. It all depends on my mood, though. Last month I re-read every Vimes book, and the month before I re-read the Rincewind books.
However, I could never get into Monstrous Regiment or Small Gods. I'm still trying to get my hands on the Science of Discworld books, but it's damn near impossible to find a new copy even on Amazon.
Siibillam-Law:
Small Gods was like that for me. First hundred pages I more or less had to force myself to read it on the pasis that it was Pratchett. It eventually got like other books, where i couldn't put it down.
Science books bored me. I would skip over the science parts and read only the wizards, but then that lost half the book, and I never really got into them. Ah well.
Gingernut:
have you read Nation? It's non-discworl, and is one of his young adults book, and is BRILLIANT. Actually made me cry in places.
I don't cry at books any more. Haven't since I first read LoTR at 13 and cried over gandalf.
It sounds like an american accent to me, but then I can hear things weird... A friend of mine has a brummie accent and sometimes it sounds welsh to me.
Doug S. Machina:
American accent? Are talking about the same person?
I really enjoyed Small Gods and Monstrous Regiment. I liked The Science of Discworld. The broad strokes of the science were familar, but I'm not sure how much of the detail I retained. Currently it's holding at chapter 16 in favour of Jasper Fforde's The Big Over Easy, so I guess it's not compulsive reading.
I've heard good things about Nation.
