Terry Pratchett

Nation's amazing. I love it. Gpt it when it first came out (but that's cos I happened to be in the city and had just been paid and though, right I gotta get this book. It's right there)... and loved it. Usually I'm a cheap son of a bitch and buy the paperback (don't judge me). But Nation's bloody good. I like the idea of writing an alternate universe
Wilde:
have read QC forever ... never felt compelled to register and comment before now but now that he's mentioned my personal universe creator, all hail Pterry! ... Vimes and Weatherwax are my Lares and Penates ... and The Librarian will always be my own personal Jesus ..
when i heard he was diagnosed with Alzheimers, i cried my eyes out for hours ... here's hoping that research does something before we lose the best thing that ever happened to the written word

I read part of Going Postal, but never actually got around to finishing it. Pity, because I loved where it was going.
SirJuggles:
Haha, I love how I always thought I was the only one who knew of this genius. And then it turns out that half my dorm and more than half of my favorite forum were rabidly devouring his works along with me.
My first thought is that I love the urban Vimes/Vetinari/Carrot/Moist stories the best, but then I remember the Death books and how amazing they are. And then I remember everything he's ever written and realize that choosing is a task no man was meant to complete.
The only exception to this seems to be the Science of Discworld books. I actually have a copy of the second one that I do not care for in the least, if someone is really that interested. And I must admit that the preview of Nation at the end of Making Money has me vastly underwhelmed...
*fake edit* Has anyone else noticed how vastly inaccurate the summaries on the back cover tend to be? Perhaps it's just the way I interpret them, but I'm fairly certain one of them misstates the gender of the main character...
Melt Down:
Vimes books will always be my favourite (Where's my Cow does count as a Vimes book).
The Librarian is defiantely second best, and as he was in some Vimes books, there was true greatness.
