Which Terry Pratchett disworld book is your favourite?

Question

Or Character?
Mine is Nightwatch. It was the first one I ever read and is like an old friend to me, very dog-eared and well loved. With Sir Samuel and Death as my most loved characters.
I still have loads to get through aswell.....only got about 29 books so far!

Answer 1

The Truth (printing press), is good, but the one about the pryamids..book number 7 was a personal best.



Young Pteppic (teppic) has been in training at the Assassins Guild in Ankh-Morpork for several years. The day after passing his final exam he somehow senses that his father has died and that he must return home.



Pteppic is forced to escape from the palace, along with a handmaiden named Ptraci (pronounced Traci). Meanwhile, the massive pyramid being built for Pteppic's father warps space time so much that it "rotates" Djelebeybi out of alignment with the space/time of the rest of the disc by 90 degrees.



I just love the fact that his dead ancestors help him to restore time, and the two countries who decide to go to war with each other when Djelibeybi disapears and they become neighbours... And the camel named You Ba-stard

Answer 2

Nightwatch is one of my favourites too! I also love any of the books with the witches in - Granny Weatherwax, Death and Foul Ole Ron are my most favourite characters. Keep reading! I have all his books - all well read. His new Discworld book Making Money is out on 24th September x

Answer 3

SMALL GODS



This was the first one I read. One of the main reasons I like it is because it doesn't demand that you read all the others, since Omnia plays very little role in any of the other books (btw I haven't read the most recent ones). I love the story and the characters.

Answer 4

The Amazing Maurice

Answer 5

A Hatfull of Sky



and Going Postal

Answer 6

Can never choose just ONE! :)



Reaper Man

Lords and Ladies

Thief of Time

Hogfather

Science of Discworld I, II & III



I love Death, thoroughly enjoy Susan and their interaction. Granny Weatherwax and her side-kick Nanny Ogg are absolutely great and I just love the wizards at UU! They remind so much of the academic world I'm in, always bickering etc. Adore them!

Answer 7

29??? you're only 1 third of the way through.............that may be a SLIGHT exaggeration..........



I really can't say a favourite book, my favourite character without doubt is Nanny Ogg. I love how she (in Witches Abroad) starts spelling bananananana but doesn't know where to stop!

Answer 8

Amazing Maurice and his Educated rodents, and The Wee Free Men

Answer 9

There are two of his books that are my favorites.I can never remember the names though. The first is the one about Australia.

The second is The Truth.

Answer 10

Men at Arms was the first one I read so that is one of my favourites,although Jingo,Small Gods and Feet Of Clay are at the top of my list.

Answer 11

My goodness, I don't know. I recently re-read the whole series, and they sort of blended into one... I am fond of Equal Rites though. I think it's high time we saw Eskarina again.

Answer 12

Mort could not stop laughing read it while i was in hospital read it at night best book i have read in years read many more of his work since not keen on FEET OF CLAY though

Answer 13

Guards! Guards! I just love Errol

Answer 14

Favourite character has to be DEATH, can't really pick a favourite book they are all excellent.
