i've read most of his books, my favorites are rincewind :P, 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 ;)


If you see my sanity, get it to give me a call.

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


Don't be afraid to see the truth, even if no one wants you to. Be yourself and not a fool. Don't ever be afraid to speak your mind and listen to criticism. Dissent is keeps our country progressive and willingness to challenge yourself is what keeps yourself ever evolving.

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.

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?

:lol: 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:

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.

It's coming...
