Terry Pratchett
HouseMDfan:
Ahh...I dunno, Sword of Truth can be funny too...I may have to check it out though...
Gingernut:
Satire, but more than satire. Fantasy, but with a really in depth basis in the real world. Fantastic characters who are well written and human. Pretty much, the later ones in the series have a darker tone and more sardonic feel, earliest are more straight satire.
Pratchett is awesome.
Shame he has Alzheimer's now, really. He donated some ridiculous sum of money to Alzheimer's research, leading me to the mental image of a lab full of Pratchett-reading scientists chanting 'must save Terry's brain'.
I'd say my favourites... ooh. I will always (always always always) re-read Hogfather and Reaper Man, and if it has Sam Vimes in it I'm on it.
Surgoshan:
Vimes is my favorite. He's the man. Which is ironic, because Vimes hates The Man.
Siibillam-Law:
Reaper Man and Hogfather, definitly.
Susan is awesome. Thumbs up for her!
fallwaterfall:
:-o :x Somehow I missed the news about Terry Pratchett's Alzheimer's - that's the worst news I've had all year, as he is my favorite author, and his works just keep getting better. Here's hoping he will, too.
Granny Weatherwax, definitely, though Vimes is a VERY close second. and Lady Sybil, Reg Shoe, Cohen the Barbarian, and who could overlook Rincewind and the Librarian? EEEK! (which may not have quite as many meanings as OOOK, but then again, more emphatic ones?)
You'll be reading along, right? and read something so funny you'll pass a whole peanut butter sandwich through your nose!
He's the best.
