Damn. i can see why im the first to put this thread up, its just too damn hard. hmmmmmm.

I've only read the first ten or so books of the Discworld novels -- so far, I hasten to add; I will read them all! -- but I do love the Rincewind books (I love that coward ) and I think my favourite book is possibly Sourcery. Mind you, I also really enjoy the Witch books. Granny is awesome and Nanny Ogg is hilarious.
But then I also liked Mort because DEATH featured quite heavily in it...

You're right, it's very hard to choose!

 

[DarkBunni]

I dont read the witches books very often but i do enjoy them when I do, espeacialy maskerade, agnes nitt makes my day.

Ive only read one book with rincewind in and that was ERIC i like the way it was like a friendly dantes inferno, the luggage cracks me up everytime

 

[Fake Vencar]

Men at Arms because it was the first book i read from Prachett.

Still makes me laugh

 

[HappyHippo]

Mine are Nightwatch and Going Postal. I like the morality tale-ness of them, without feeling like I've been hit over the head with it.

Also Vimes and Moist are wonderful!

 

[Pyan]

Night Watch. No question.

 

[Redtail]

Love all the Witch books,
but The Wee Free Men, are my favorite, they can come and live at my house, as long as we can barter, house work for sheep linament!!

 

[CryHavoc]

There's just so many! I'd probably have to say Night Watch, though.

Second and third would be Small Gods, and Lords and Ladies, in that order, though Reaper Man and Hogfather take honorable mentions.

 

[Joel007]

I can't really pick one book, I love the whole discworld! I think the one I most enjoyed reading would be Thud!, but that doesn't make it the best.

 

[Nesacat]

The books with Death in them definitely, though Granny Weatherwax runs in a close second. There is something about Death though ... maybe it's the horse called Binky and the cats ... The ability to talk in UPPER CASE is not too bad either.

 

[Allegra]

I can never choose a favourite discworld book because pTerry is capable of writing consistently good, if not better.

 

[Patrician]

To choose the best Discworld book? Hard, very hard. It's usually the last one I read.

 

[Marky Lazer]

The Death books. Though I only read one so far

 

[Winters_Sorrow]

Small Gods without a doubt.
His attacks on organised religion are hilariously vicious and near to the knuckle. Plus the scenes where Om gatecrashes the home of the gods and nuts one of them is a classic

 

[Thessaly]

Usually my favourites are;
The Fifth Elephant - Uberwald, the Watch, dwarves, plus the werewolf/vampire relations were great!
Lords and Ladies - I love the sinister elves, and anything with the witches.
Night Watch - just very moving, and cleverly written (not to say the others aren't either). I also really liked Thud, for similar reasons, but that could also be because I've read it very recently.

I couldn't really get into Going Postal, and that along with the Last Continent have been the only ones I wasn't particularly keen on.

 

[The Sweeper]

I haven't seen it in stores yet, but what would be my favorite, its one volume with all his books in it, although it would be slightly awkward to walk around with book that thick. Note the slightly

 

[Constantine Opal]

Reaper Man. Nuff Said.

 

[Marky Lazer]

I'm reading that one right now! Well, not now... now I'm typing "I'm reading that one right now!", obviously. But if I would be reading right now, it would be Reaper Man. Yeah.

 

[Joel007]

Heh, Reaper man is a great book.

SQUEAK

When grading his books it is hard when you are talking about a range between 99 and 100% perfect.

My personal favourites are the Watch arc with Guards! Guards! and Feet of Clay top of the list.

Behind this arc it would be Mort and the Colour of Magic (from about 85/86 as a student - only book that I fell of the bed laughing and started my obsession)
