  • Best and Worst of Discworld

    What's your favourite Discworld book, and were there any that you were really dissapointed by?
    Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
    The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
    The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

    Best; Don't make me choose, damnit Probably a Vimes book, as they are the most interesting for comparing between worlds and Vimes is the most cynical bastard ever written

    Worst: Eric; I don;t like the Rincewind books, but that one just doesn,t interest me. It's funny, sure, but not that interesting.
    You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

          Best: Time, probably. Lu Tze

          Worst: I think i'd agree, Eric... though I didn't dislike it as much as many, it's probably the worst of them.

            Welll, not sure if it's fair to count those, but those Macfneegle-whatwerethey aren't really that good.

            I liked the one where Vimes' scheduler schedules him to die, die, die....

                    Small Gods is the best but it was long ago that I read them so I can't remember the worst.

                      I have only read 'Mort' and 'Reaperman', and Mort was Awesome!

                        Strange. IMHO Eric, Reaperman and Mort were the weakest.

                        [The very worst is the children's book "Is That My Cow?" It is awful! ]

                        Thief of Time, Interesting Times and Night Watch are the best...oh yeah and the first two Tiffany Acking triology: Wee Free Men and Hat Full of Sky.

                          Guards Guards and Small Gods are my favorites. Some of the more recent ones have been not as good.

                            Hurm, I don't know that I've been really disappointed by any Discworld book.

                            In addition to other likes mentioned above, I'll add Soul Music, Moving Pictures, and I can't believe no one listed Hogfather.

                              Soul Music or Small Gods are best, though Thief of Time is in the running.

                              Worst...Strata, if you count it.
