i've read most of his books, my favorites are rincewind

, Deaths (especially when he speaks LIKE THIS) and susan *because i've seen the anitmated version of it, didn't like her book version as much, but the animated one was good* overall the most favorite book i would ahve the say the color of magic, because its the first, and they are usually the best, but i like how the use of footnotes inproves as he goes on

i'm in the middle of reading a hatful of sky. nac mac feegles are so cute! *but i wouldn't say that to their faces*

another good one is the unadulterated cat. if you don't nescesarily like stories and stuff, but own a cat, you will realised every word is Truth

I've read a few. I particularily like the one he wrote with Neil Gaiman, Good Omens.

Spira, I'm with you. I love that book. I think I should read it again. How can you beat demonic messages from Queen tapes? ;D

Terry Pratchett is a great author, perhaps my favourite. His ideas and stories are so fantastic, I think the first one I read was (cant remember title) the book wherest Rincewind (make more Rincewind boooooks) end up on the PsuedoAussie land.

hahaha the land of the triple X. that would be the last continent

. i liked that book too, esp how dibbler keeps turning up, and the crazy kangaroo. althugh at times it seems somewhat surreal :roll:

I've read about two or three of his books, I forget the titles excatly but he is on my "to Buy" list lol

right now I'm rounding out a few other collections but one of these days I do play to buy and read all his discworld novels!

My friend introduced me to Terry Pratchett a while ago, and I'm slowly becoming addicted. His books are hilarious.

So far I've read Jingo, Hogfather, Equal Rites, Feet of Clay, and I'm in the middle of Monstrous Regiment. I think I like the Watch books best, though.

(Actually, I'm considering doing a Hogfather set for winter this year - good to know there are a few people who'll get it)

He's good. Hilarious, at times.

He (with Jay Jolliffe) also wrote a book about cats ("Unadultered Cat") -- that's hilarious too. Describes my cat almost flawlessly.

Yeah, I love Pratchett! I've read the whole series plus Good Omens, but I still can't decide on my favourite character. I would say Rincewind, but he's a little too 'flat' for my taste. I think I'd go for Death ('HELLO THERE' :battar:

). He's not only very funny, but he's so much more than that (a (grand)father, for example)

).

Don't you just love the fifth rider of the Apocalypse?

Yes!! I love Terry Pratchett!! He is awesome!! XDD I love the ones with Rincewind, Death, ummm, oh, aah, I can't remember the names of the books now >.< but so many that I love^__^. The ones with the little blue faeries that got kicked out of faeryland, but with such a bad memory, of course, I can't remember what they're called. But yeah, I love his books^^* They're hilarious^__^

thats whats sitting on my shelf looking at me right now! *the book not the cat, i have a cat though*

and its true, describes my cat pretty much as well.

its also hilarious, i lent it to my friend in a tutorial, and she was laughing so much we got kicked out of class *since it was study period it was justified, but still...* and we got weird looks in the library too,

Heh, I've read a few of his books. My favorite character is by far Coporal Carrot. I especially like that one quote, I can't find it right now, but something about people doing stuff just because Corporal Carrot said so. In other news, I found this:

My favorites are The Truth and Mort

Why has no-one mentioned the Discworld series?! They're hilarious. I like Carpe Jugulum the best methinks... Ooo also, when I was younger I read the "Johnny" trilogy, very tongue in cheek, funny really.
