Pratchett is awesome. I'd say my favorite book is interesting times, and my favorite characters are Rincewind, Death, Death of Rats, and Cohen the Barbarian. Oh, yes, and Mr. Teatime (how do you spell his name?).

I agree with all the praise.
Personally, I like DOR, Greebom, Nanny and Granny best, even though many others are great too.

Oh, and wasn't it Thehethime or something like that?

Favorite characters: The Luggage, Rincewind, Death and The Bursar(Hey, we maniacs gotta stick together.)

Favorite book: This is a difficult choice I am presented with, maybe The Last Continent, possibly The Truth or The Colour Of Magic, Reaper Man ain't bad either, I think Reaper Man or Last Continent are the two of his books I've enjoyed the most.

Has anyone here read, Carpet People(Can't remember if it was The Carpet People or just Carpet People.) or Johnny and the Dead? They're HILARIOUS.

TP is a great author, i've got all of the Discworld series on my bookshelf, and signed copies of Carpe Jugulum, The Fifth Elephent and The Truth, Pratchett is doing another book signing at my local store in a few weeks.

My favourite books are Feet of Clay, Jingo, Small Gods and The Thief of Time

I love Terry Pratchets humour alot. The casual way of describing things with a great sense of humor and also refering to things of today in fantasy terms are cool!

I like the books about the Guards and death the most. I still have a couple of books to read so well.. might find new favourites!

Am just replaying the game Discworld II now - very hilarious.
Read most of his books too, very witty author.
Has anybody played any of the computer games based on the Discworld series? I can recommend II, but I've heard the first one is very difficult (bizarra solutions to quests etc). Still meaning to try Discworld Noir as soon as I can find it somewhere.

Oh, some of my favourite characters are The Luggage!!, Rincewind, Death, Teppic, You Bastard (), CMOT Dibbler, Teatime, Granny Weatherwax, Carrot, Nobby, ....ok so I like em all

After totally ignoring him in the eighties and nineties, my wife and I just read our first Pratchett this last week ("Guards, Guards") and OMG! - he's great!!! I just bought "Feet of Clay", "Men at Arms", and "The Fifth Elephant" tonight and am planning on having a very enjoyable weekend reading.
