Terry Pratchet's Discworld appreciation thread...

(1/14) > >>

Big fan here, think i've read pretty much every single one and i'm eagerly anticipating 'Thud!' :) favorite characters have gotta be the ankh morpork city guard, closely followed by rincewind and death in joint second. The witches of lancre are near the bottom i'm afraid except for carpe jugulum, that book rocked! I know there are other fans, would love to hear how long you've been reading him, what your favorite books/characters are.

Sythe:
People have alluded to the sheer awesomeness of Pratchett, but lo! (not Lo) his very own thread! I started reading a few years back with the Hogfather. Now I've read most, but not all I'm afraid. I don't think theres a book I've read as of yet that was dissatisfying.

maxusy3k:
I started reading Pratchett because it was the only halfway decent thing my high-school library offered.

Plus, being twelve and all, it was quite refreshing and somewhat funny that it had swearing in, haha.


Pratchett kicks serious ass... I would give exmaples but I can't think of any right now. I know I read the first series of The Colour of Magic, Light Fantastic and... uh... the other ones, but after that it was all odds and ends. Hogfather was cool.

I haven't read a lot of the more recent ones (Fifth Elephant onwards, really) and that is a shame. Maybe when money starts flowing more I'll pick them up again.

shrimp:
I have been a fan of Pratchett since I picked up my first Pratchett book, Diggers. I love the Discworld series, although my list of favourite characters start with Granny weatherwax and end with the Night watch crew. I didnt really enjoy any of the books with them in, mainly cause I read fantasy to escape, and theyre just not "out there" enough or as insightful as the witches and Death. I also really liked The Wee Free Men, but am waiting for the fiance to buy me Hat Full of Sky, he will eventually.

Switchblade:
My dad introduced me to Pratchett. The hook that got me to read them was when I was told about the Librarian - the idea that the librarian is an orang-utan who'se only capable of saying "Oook" really tickled me for some reason.

Favourite characters: The Nac Mac Feegle, Sam Vimes, Death.
