Monstrous Regiment was v good too

Favourite: Small Gods just gets it from Carpe Jugulum and Monstrous Regiment
Least favourite: Moving Pictures, but I'm not that keen on The Last Continent, though the vegemite recipe does go a long way to redeeming it....

Light Fantastic? Or the colour of magic? Can't remember which

Loved Going Postal. He went through a bit of a dip, but lots of the latest ones are fab

The Tiffany Aching ones are great as well

Favourite is Pyramids.

Least favourite I would say is either Moving Pictures or Jingo.

Depends on how I feel at the time. Right now I'd edge more towards it being Moving Pictures.

My favourite is Small Gods, which was the first one I ever read. Don't really like the very early ones.

DS and I started discworld last year - we are only about one-third of the way through. Some are slower than others, but none deserve less than 7/10.

I loved Moving Pictures - but I'd just done a course on the early years of Hollywood so I "got" a lot of jokes I wouldn't have understood otherwise. Whereas Soul Music I found quite difficult to laugh at as I'm not that interested in music (although I did get some of the jokes, I'm sure I missed many more!)
