Fav. Discworld Novel? (Terry Pratchett)

[mystery]

Hmm, I couldn't decide on a favorite book if my life depended on it... Like Guards, Guards, Mort, all of which I have read, which is maybe 15 books.

Got 10 books on my birthday, (yaaay) so I'm all busy reading Interesting Times, which proves to be one of the better ones... Good Omens is also an incredably good book, can't wait for the movie to come.

I haven't read many of these, and I'm afraid I don't like them as much as I'm meant to -- shock, horror!

I first started reading them years and years ago, my best mate's brother recommended them. So I went out and bought the first two -- 'The Colour of Magic', and 'The Light Fantastic' -- sorry but I found them a little slow, and I wasn't very enthusiastic. That sort of put me off a little, although people compared him to Douglas Adams and raved about him.

Then I was bought 'The Last Continent' as a present. I really liked that and changed my mind. I also read his book 'Only You Can Save Mankind' which is very unusual.

Then my Mum and Dad produced the play 'Mort' at their amateur theatre and they raved about it too. I didn't think they would have liked it at all.

I have just finished 'Guards, Guards', which I did like but which took me forever to finish.

I do think he is clever in his analogies between the Discworld and our modern world, and I like the sense of humour, but the stories themselves take too long to develop. They aren't books that I must avidly read to discover the ending, just ones that I can pick up from time to time and have a laugh at.

I probably need to read more to make a decision on the best.

Love all the books but.... has to be any with the Witches in for me, simply because Nanny Ogg is my hero.

Hey if you have to grow old, why not grow old disgracefully :rolly2:

Mort was always my favourite. I'm a big Death fan (the charater, not the event, of course ). But having just read
Monsterous Regiment, I think that Mort May have been pushed to second place. I am really loving Vimes at the mo.

Although even since my other half told be that Paul Darrow (Avon from Blake's 7) play him a lot in the theatre productions, I can't help but read Vimes in his voice. Which is slightly off-putting

I know that it isn't strictly Discworld, but also love Wee Free Men - it helps the humour that I have a four foot ten Scottish granny whose voice came into my head all the way through reading it!

I've only just got into the Diskworld novels, so I haven't read many of them yet. And I'm not reading them in any order, which gets very confusing!.

All of the books are fabulous, and I love Vimes and Death. But out of the ones i have read so far, my favourites are "Thief of Time", "The Truth" and "Mort".
