*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...

Hahahaha, I read the back of Nation, where they make mention of the "ghost girl with no toes" and "the world turning upside down". Man did both these things lead me the wrong way. So much for scary hovering ghoul and a massive global switch.
I remember one of my classmates told me to read Discworld after I saw him on the MUD and asked him what he was. I was mocking at first, then he told me to get one out (any, didn't seem to matter),and I took Eric (bad choice for a first one) and Reaper Man (much better choice). I was on the phone to my girlfriend at the time, not listening nto her and intereupting her to read aloud some parts of the text i thought were hilarious (which basically was the whole thing). Pratchett has an amazing influence on us all
EhSteve:
It goes, 'Hruuugh!'
SmileyBandit:
Ahhh Pterry-lovers all unite. The funny thing about Pratchett is I've never heard ANYONE state that they dislike the books he's written. It's pure genius.
BTW - I can't believe nobody has mentioned Lu Tse and Thief of Time! Vetinari and Vimes are brilliant (and my equal-second favourites), but Lu Tse sweeps butt!
Muppet King:
I lump Thief of Time in with the Susan/Death books. Lu Tze is definitely one of my favorite characters, but he's not exactly a star.
Siibillam-Law:
Very hard to pick out a favourtie character, though isn't it. Too many of them and they're all so different. To be honest thoough, as much as I like the watch, they've had a lot books lately. It seems every time something goes wrong its up to them.
