Whats your favorite and least favourite Discworld book?

[StripeyKnickersSpottySocks]

Following on from other Discworld thread.

My favourite is Reaperman. Least favourite is Moving Pictures.

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!)

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.

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

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.

i can't remember the title but one scene had rincewind and the tourist facing soem guards(?) and his battle cry was "erm, excuse me!" had me rofl in stitches for a full ten minutes and i couldn't explain to my mom why i was laughing without cracking up again

please someone tell me the title.

i have terry pratchett's signature in one of my dw books. blasted post-natal memory (which, sadly, has not improved over the 2years) now cannot remember which book!

what other dw thread????

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

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

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....

Monstrous Regiment was v good too

Or could it have been Interesting Times?

LC has vegemite
IT has, er, cherry blossom

will have to dig all my dw books out fo storage now - we had to decant from bookshelf once dd crawling as it was a bit unstable

I rather like Moving Pictures, and loved ll the 'in' jokes

Didn't like last continent

Not read many but loved Reaper Man.
Haven't read enough to have a least fav tho.

I really enjoyed Small Gods, but find The Colour of Magic quite dull. I love the Tiffany books. Like Harry Potter for girls.

Like Harry Potter with an editor

I actually really don't like that one with the Luggage and the priests going to Fourecks, whatever it's called.

Most of the Vimes/Carrot/Angua ones are fabulous. I feel Ankh-Morpork is very probably my spiritual home.

Vimes is an inspired character. Loved the idea of a copper's AA meeting: 'My name's Sam Vimes and I'm a suspicious bastard'

That was the last continent (I think)

Love the three tramps , foul ol ron etc all.

Love Vimes I think he is my fav character.

I think Guards, guards is probably my favorate. With the million to one shot shot. And the temple of the elucidadte bretherin.

dp loves vimes sarcasm

Where's my daddy?
Is that my daddy?
He says Buggrit Millennium hand and shrimp
He is Foul Ole Ron!
That's not my daddy!

must stop now

must read my dw books again!

I think Reaperman is my fave discworld although it's so long since i read some of them i can't remember which is which.

Also like Tiffany and the Nac Mac Feegle

Crivens!!!

I love all the Guards ones, especially Thud!. I'm not so into the earlier ones - they've definitely improved with age. I laugh out loud at all of them even tho' I've read all at least 10 times each & some like Men At Arms & The Fifth Elephant have made me cry too.

Dh & I went to see a production of Mort at the Edinburgh festival a few years ago & I kept staring at a guy in the audience just a few seats along who was a dead ringer for Terry Pratchett. Dh kept telling me to stop it as there was no way it could be him then when we got home we read in the paper that Terry was actually in Edinburgh that weekend to give a reading at the book festival so you never know . . . Wish I'd just gone up to him and asked now.

Sadly I'm not having much luck persuading my 2 teenage dds to give discworld a go but 2 year old dd3 loves Where's My Cow? & lucky ds has his first discworld experience still to come

can you get where's my cow?
