I love all the Watch books. I can't seem to get into the witches or Rizewind.

The only Pratchett book I've read is Monstrous Regiment, which I loved. I have a bunch of the Discworld books, but I have so many books, so little time.

Oh, I love Terry´s Discworld novels. They´re hilarious!
The Watch and Death books are great. Like the witches, too. Don´t like the wizards books, though.

Oh, Terry Pratchett's great. I've read the first few books, but I'm kind of obsessive about reading them in order, so it's slow going. I'm excited to get to the Watch books; I've heard great things about them.

The Watch books, are the best! You can really look forward to "Guards! Guards!" (it´s the first of the Watch books, as far as I know).

You should read Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, if you haven't already . So so good.

Also, if you like TP you'll like Neil Gaiman. Neverwhere by NG is one of my favorite books of all time. Just thinking about it makes me happy, I think I'll go and reread that one over winter break

I love the discworld novels - Pratchett is brilliant. The first book i ever read was the Hogfather and i loved it. The witches are some of my favourite books but i really enjoy the character of Death, even his cameos are entertaining.

All his books are good, but compared to his later ones, the Colour of Magic is rather inferior. The Witches' series is awesome, and so is the Watch's series - actually everything he wrote is brilliant, although Strata was rather weak in my opinion and I don't like Rincewind-centric books all that much (but the Lost Continent was hilarious).

I just picked up Making Money. I'm enjoying it. I also picked up a YA book by him called So You Want To Save the World or something like that.

he's a genius!

i basically love all of his books, but my favorite character is death. and his little sidekick, death of rats. the fact that death rides a white horse called binky because the firehorses would burn down the stable and he had to stop too often to put the bone ones back together... hilarious.

one of my personal favorite books is "soul Music". A special kind of music called music with rocks in is taking over the discworld-anyone read it?

Yep. Soul Music is good. All his books are good. Although, I haven't finished any of his YA books.
