Any one read the Stratta and Dark Side of the sun serries, certainly not as funny as the disc world, but very thought provoking.
I love the idea that the super intelligent aliens abandoned technology in order to find harmony with the universe. This has always been a contention of my own, that we may not be making contact with other races, because they didn't bother to go down the technological routes that we did.
 
I've read "the dark side of the sun" but didn't like it that much... I had to read the first 5 or so pages at least 10 times until I managed to proceed to the 6th...
But read his first novel "THE CARPET PEOPLE"!!!! I just love it!!! It's great! Do never pic up a toothpick, it might be of great importance to some little person or other... ;)
 
i think pratchetts books in genral work for all age groups but some lean toward one age range or another i think that may apply in this case because you can still tell there pratchett but the deepth of the book differs
 
Read strata but just couldn't get into it and ended up giving up on it, but I also read "only you can save mankind" which was based soully for kids and I quite enjoyed it
 
i think all three 'johnny' books were excellent and despite being kids books are perfectly written to be good for adults to.
 
I liked both Strata and Dark side of the sun.

I remember reading diggers several years ago. Also Only you can save Mankind.

I've been given the carpet people & Johnny and the Dead to read recently :) (they're on my list!)
 
I have tried to read just about everything that Pratchett has written. For me, even one of the not-quite-so-good Discworld novels is far better than any of the other offerings, though I really quite liked the Johnny books.
