Who else likes Terry Pratchett's excellent, sprawling series? What are your favorite books and characters?
My favorite book in the series is probably Men at Arms, because I love Vimes and the rest of the Watch. My favorite non-watch character is probably Nanny Ogg.

My dad is terry pratchet obsessed. Myself I have only read The colour of magic and I had to read it 3 times before I understood it.
And I'm still not completely sure.

I have a friend who used to be obsessed with those, I should probably read them

The Luggage is one of my favorite book characters ever. He has so much depth! You can really relate to him. I don't like his girlfriend very much though.

I love the Terry Pratchett Books, and I've apparently inherited this love from my paternal grandmother. The first one I read was Interesting Times. Also, I have a frame map of the discword

I'm huge fan of Terry Pratchett. My favorite books in the Discworld series are Small Gods and Reaper Man, but I've never been disappointed by anything I've read of his.

I've just got my hands on Going Postal!, and my brother says it's the best book so far. Personally I like the witches' series better, namely Witches Abroad (chop-chop, silver plate ) and Monstrous Regiment. Overall they're terrific books, I adore the irony behind them.

I've only read one of the Discworld series and I loved it. I should go read more. My favourite character was DEATH. Hehe.

I've heard and seen so much of Discworld, but I have never actually seen the book itself, nor read any of the books in the series. What is this series about?

I've only recently started reading the series- I've finished Guards! Guards!, and started The Light Fantastic yesterday. I love it. =D

Terry Pratchett is god. I love all his works, but the Witches and Watch series are my personal favourites. Vimes and Granny are two of the best characters I've ever come across.

DEATH IS AWESOME! I really really like his capital letters, haha. Isn't there a DW book where a character says YES and it takes up the whole page? That was pretty funny.

I LOVE Pratchett. I love the witches series, the Ankh Morpork series, the Death series, all of them. There's something wonderful about the way he writes.

Most of the books here I have now is the Discworld series. I really like them too 
My first one was Equal Rites.
I don't know what my favorite book is, I like them all.
The character I like depends on the book

Yes, I think it's in Reaper Man... when Pratchett wrote extra words especially so the big YES would be in a new page and come as a surprise to the reader (I don't remember the plot clearly now), and he was so smurf out when they messed up with fonts and you could see it in the middle of the page, so you already knew how it would end when you started reading that scene...
poor guy.
