who on this board besides me reads discworld novels?

[Wraith]

I do. I've got them all up through Night Watch.

"++?????++ Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start."
-- Terry Pratchett ("Interesting Times")

[twoflower]

cool I have Color of Magic,THe light Fantastic,Interesting Times and TheLast continent and btw I'm not a DL I lurked on apolyton long before registering

[Alinestra Covelia]

I've read some of them up to and including Interesting Times. After that, I thought Pratchett was getting a bit too silly and complacent and I started on Robert Rankin instead.

[twoflower]

ok this is my first venture into the OT so I'm glad I haven't been eaten alive

[Stefu]

I just read Night Watch couple a days ago. I really, really, really think Pratchett should scrap the Igors. Goddamn Igors. Even a slightest appearance by them almost taints the book. In fact, I'd be happy with a lot less Ãœberwaldians, except for Corporal Angua. Oh, and he should stop with the time-related scheisse already. It hurts my head.

[twoflower]

you're right I liked the rincewind novels better anyways

[Dr. Nick]

I want to know what happened to Rincewind after he goes over the Rim!

*cries*

[Urban Ranger]

I like his earlier books. I think Pratchett is running out of good stories and plots.

P.S. I hate the Igors too.

[twoflower]

he lives but he has crazy adventures get the books: THe Light Fantic,Interesting Times and the last continent

[Immortal Wombat]

Pratchett was too silly so you read Rankin?

The later ones are better actually. Rincewind is too bizarre.

[Urban Ranger]

Rincewind never dies, he always comes back, even from the Dungeon Dimension.

[Clear Skies]

Pratchett lives on - while The Truth was weak, Thief of Time and The Fifth Elephant were gold. Night WAtch is OK I guess, but it could've been done without the messing around with magic - and Lu-Tze was spoilt by his appearance in that one.
My favourites of the novels? That's changed a lot...it used to be Rincewind, but he gets very old very quickly, bit of a one-trick pony (or rather no-trick pony). I like the Witches a lot, especially Granny Weatherwax, but Vimes is far and away the best character. Angua too.
(And my best friend pointed out a while back that almost nowhere in the books do you get a scene from inside Carrot's head. You never get to know what he's thinking.)

[Zkribbler]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating this thread. I have wondered away from the Prachett novels, and you've reminded me that it's time to wonder back.

Thief of Time, Hogfather, and Movie Pictures are excellent!

O & I the Igorth.

I liked small gods a lot

there are a lot of good books there, some weaker than others and I have been less into them recently
