Pratchett

[mindstalk]

I just re-read Jingo. Still awesome. I think Small Gods, Jingo, and Night Watch are my top three Discworld novels. Making it all the more shocking that by my records, I haven't read any of them since 2004, while reading Going Postal and Strata three times each.

What are your favorite Pratchetts? Or least favorite?

I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like any Terry Pratchett books at all.

[mindstalk]

Probably not but it is rare. Why not, can you say?

His sense of humor does nothing for me.

I loved Night Watch the best while reading it, though I loved Thud! and Going Postal. Really, any of the books in which Ankh-Morpork and its infrastructure (particularly the guards! least of all the wizards, particularly the excrable Rincewind!) are large parts of the plot. Actually, I just realized that was an utter lie, because I adore Granny Weatherwax and any book in which she features (like Lords and Ladies) is going on my reread pile.

I have not yet read Strata. I look forward to it!

Yeah, I think my general order is Watch + some standalones > Witches > Death > Wizard/Rincewind. Though the million to one joke of Guards Guards got repeated too many times for me.

Fully agreed! I don't remember Guards!Guards!, but I remember thinking it was the weakest of the Watch books.
