Are you reading a Pratchett book now?

I am reading The Truth right now. I love how William de Worde is "discovering" everything about publishing a newspaper and of course I am enjoying the mystery within. The idea of a vampire photographer who turns to dust everytime he time he takes a flash picture cracks me up. Is that sort of the vampire equivelent of a person who cuts themselves to relieve emotional pain?

edited to add touchstones because I guess I forgot where I was for a minute.

Seems like that kind of equivalent, right?

I'm reading Making Money now. Late, I know, but I had to reread Going Postal first because I couldn't remember a thing that had happened.

Listening to Going Postal (not at this exact moment because Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap is still on the radio but will be going back to it soon).

Just re-read Soul Music, not for the first time. I actually stopped buying his books round about Interesting Times, but I was a loyal follower up to then.

I WOULD be reading Making Money, but I have been banned from buying it as I'll be getting it for Xmas most likely. Am champing at the bit to get to it!

I really want to read Making Money especially as Moist is one of my favourite 'new' characters, but I have just blown my entertainment budget on the dvd of Jekyll (on the bbc recently) so will have to wait a few weeks!!

#1 - not sure, but a vampire is a wonderful characterization for a news reporter (or news photographer).

editing because I just realized this made no sense. Original post "#1 - not sure, but a vampire and wonderful characterization of new reporter (or photographer)."

I'm starting Moving Pictures now. All the Holy Wood allusions are great fun. Favorite silly thing right now is "Final Frontier" Not much of a frontier if there is nowhere to go after that. :) Paraphrased, of course.

I'm rereading my Discworld books and I'm reading Equal Rites right now. Just finished Moving Pictures and before that Small Gods. I'm not rereading all of them, just the ones that didn't grab me the first time around.

even though it's not the holiday season, I'm re-reading Hogfather... then I think I'll keep going with more of the Death ones...

I just finished The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, which counts as Discworld, but doesn't really deal with most of the folks we're used to reading about. One major character (think the guy in black with the BIG VOICE) makes a cameo appearance late in the book though. It was a lot of fun!

I'm reading "Soul Music" right now

I've started Going Postal. There are chapters in this book!

Just finished reading Making Money - there are chapters in that one too. It kind of throws me when there are chapters in Discworld books - I'm used to having strategically placed breaks in the text, but not chapters - LOL!

Do you think Pratchett had to yield to publishers? They do make nice potty breaks, :) but I kind of miss the uniqueness and arrogance of no chapters. :D

I just finished "Wintersmith." It felt weird reading a Discworld book where the *primary* plot was a love story... but there were Nac Mac Feegle in it, so that was okay.

Vampire photographer dude (Otto?) is awesome.

I'm reading Maskerade right now! And loving it! :-)

#16 - Have you read The Truth yet? Otto figures rather prominently in that. I love him.

In the middle of Jingo now, I love Sam Vimes, he's working his way into my top 5 favorites characters. I'm hoping they'll give more depth to Carrot in this one, too.

I picked up The art of Discworldat the library and having heard of the author and series on here have gotten one book of his at the library,Eric and own one. I'll have to locate that one though. The artwork in that book is phenomenal and it explains some of the characters and how and why they were developed. Interesting. MB

I had to put down a very poorly written book the other day, so to get the bad taste out of my mouth I decided to read a Pratchett. Interesting Times

*I wasn't eating the bad book, but it did leave a sour taste. :)

Having just discovered Pratchett in the last few months (!) due to LT, I am just now reading them all the way through. I started with the Witches arc, then Rincewind, and I'm at the end of the Death sequence (I think, according to the reading order I found online) on Thief of Time.

So far, I have enjoyed them all immensely, although I think Granny Weatherwax is probably my favorite character so far!

Finished Jingo, enjoyed it but was a little disappointed they didn't expand on Carrot very much. They kind of-sort of hint at hidden depths, but then don't deliver. I'm reading The Last Continent and Wintersmith now, and enjoying both.

I'm re-reading carpe jugulum. The witches are my favourite characters.

I picked up the Bromeliad on the weekend and I'm reading that now. I love the Discworld books, but his non-Discworld books are great fun too. I'm loving it so far!

I just finished The Last Hero, I laughed so much! Loved it. Loved the premise, the action, those involved and the results. Also loved the illustrations, though I didn't think I would. The only interpretation I would argue with is the image of the Luggage. In my mind it has little wooden feet, like one would see on some furniture, not little human feet.

im sort of reading The Science of Discworld right now... but i keep getting other books in... so it get put on the back burner... its not quite as fun as the other books... a lot easier to put down... though ill make it through it one day:)

Simius - Could you tell me a little bit what it is like? I've wondered if it is in story form or just Pratchett explaining his reasoning on the science in the book or telling which books have what science in them.

its odd... every other chapter is in Discworld... where Ponder Stibbons and the Wizards are doing an experiment... and then the other chapters go on about science... and though interesting... make you wish the chapter will be over so you can get back to your proper place in Discworld:)... its worth it... just a slow read

science of discworld is not really a discworld book, it's a popular science book writen by Jack Cohen with Terry adding some Discworld interpretations along the way. They're fun but don't actually help understand the science. There are three covering the origin on the universe, evolution and I can't remember the third.

I've just finished fifth elephant antoher one of his best.

Thank you Simius and reading_fox. :)

No.29/30
Thanks from me too as i'm thinking about reading them when i finish the series, probably will now too

I started Good Omens on my vacation. I am loving it! Especially enjoying the interaction between the angel and the demon. :)

i havent read Good Omens for quite a while... i need to reread all of the books actually

i'm reading monstrous regiment. just finished the fifth elephant. those are the first books in english and i'm so slow and don't understand as much as in finnish. a lot of enjoyment is missing (playing with words and meanings) i must admit. trying to collect as much as possible.

almost finished with Night Watch, a re-read but worth it, and next up is Mort...

(is that the first DEATH one?)

Yes, Mort is the first DEATH book. I loved that one! I just finished Small Gods, and I didn't enjoy it quite as much as some of the others. It still made me laugh out loud, but I didn't *love* it. Maybe it's because none of my favorite characters were in this one, with the exception of a few brief appearance only.

Have just given in and ordered Nation from Amazon UK as NZ won't get it until the 3rd week of October, and I want it now! It's non-Discworld, and for kids/teens, so might not count for this. The reviews have been great, and I hope it arrives quickly so I can devour it and add it to the conference presentation I'm putting together, as I'm sure it'll be good.

Just started Sourcery, my first Pratchett in a while.

Picked up Nation over the weekend--postponing starting it just to enjoy the anticipation.

Just finished Nation - I loved it, but it was quite dark. I assume his illness was very much on his mind when he wrote it.

I enjoyed Sourcery, I might post some excerpts later. Very wizzardy. There's a plot, but it's not a very prominent part of the book.

I finished Nation this morning, and loved it. I didn't find it too dark, but it certainly makes you think.

I've begun reading Mort. I love it.

I don't like soucery much and am up to jingo and enjoying it a lot (only up to p40 of 285)

I think Mort is my very favorite so far. I just finished Lords and Ladies and enjoyed it quite a bit. I love the Witches! They are just so funny. and DEATH made a brief appearance, which is always good for a laugh.

The Bromeliad Trilogy - Truckers, Diggers and Wings all bound in one paperback volume. It's not the equal of Discworld, but still a great read.

Don't like sourcery, equal rites or the first half of wyrd sisters but like what i have read of the last continent and most others (don't like susan much)

I just finished Small Gods last night (I'm reading them in order), and am annoyed I don't have the next book, because Pratchett makes everything OK in my world.

I just started small gods last night! how funny!

I just love Small Gods. It was my first Pratchett and still my favorite! Hope you enjoy.

Still waiting on The Colour of Magic to get here from the other branch. They never do their paging lists very quickly. *grumble, grumble, grumble...*

I found Equal Rites at the library book sale and snatched it up. I may read it next. Men at Arms is on my list for the 999 challenge, so I'm saving it for next year.

Huzzah! The Colour of Magic has arrived...in perfect time. I just finished A Holiday for Murder and now I have something else to read.

I caved (again) and bought Lords and Ladies, which is awesome and funny, and makes me super happy. Mr. Pratchett, you kicketh some rear.

#53

What is the 999 challenge? It sounds interesting.

I just finsihed Men at Arms not his very best, but one of my favourites.

I don't like Small Gods at all, although I know I'm in a minority here.

#48 you don't like Susan ?! - she's one of my favourite characters! I'm always surprised at the variety of responses to Terry's works.

I'm going to read Soul Music now. Hoping to finish it rather quickly so I can read Hogfather before Christmas. I read Hogfather last year before Christmas and that was my introduction to Pratchett. What a lovely year it has been. :)

I once again caved, and bought Men At Arms and Soul Music. I may need a Pratchett intervention. Like, now.

A Pratchett intervention? Looks like this--
What, now you need the next Vimes book, and you really need to have Guards! Guards! before Men at Arms!

I HAVE Guards! Guards! I'm reading them in order! I NEED THEM ALL RIGHT NOW, EVEN WITH ALL THE OTHER BOOKS I NEED TO READ. *twitches*

I've just starting re-reading Thud, which I think is my favourite in the Vimes series - of course, I say that about every one, until the next comes out!

I finished Soul Music, it was a hoot! Especially with two teenage guitar gods in my house. ;)

Liking carpe jugulum and loving the fifth elephant

Just finished Hogfather and watched the movie as well--very well done!

Artemisfowl - those are two of my favorite Pratchett books!

Reading Soul Music, and loving it. I want to give Death a hug, and buy him a kitten. Up next is Interesting Times.

The only one I haven't read yet is Making Money and I read the first chapter before I let my boyfriend read it and I've decided that I'll re-read Going Postal first so that the recent history will be fresh in my mind. So I'm not actually reading one right now, but I'm going to be traveling over the holidays and those are the two I'll take with me.

#68

Any excuse to reread a Pratchett book...

I thought Making Money was written well enough that you didn't need to know the first book. There were obviously references in the second book to reward those whom had read Going Postal, and to a lesser extent other Discworld books, but it didn't seem to be so obvious that it would ruin the flow of the book.

"I thought Making Money was written well enough that you didn't need to know the first book"

That's usually the case with his books - it's really just an excuse to reread Going Postal.

Okay, I've finished The Colour of Magic and now I can't figure out if I want to go in order and do The Light Fantastic or go on to the first Death book which is...?

Of course this is trying to fit in with A Study in Scarlet and maybe a P.G. Wodehouse or Rex Stout book and also Tales of Beedle the Bard.

I just finished reading Hogfather. It was as good or better the second time as it was the first. I caught a lot more of the references, because the first time I read it, it was the first Pratchett I had read. Did that make sense?

tiegster - There is no need to read discworld in order. All the books can stand alone. Mort is the first death book. See the series pages here: http://www.librarything.com/series/Discworld%3A+Death (side note - the series pages on LT for discworld are really well done.)

MrsLee - makes perfect sense to me.

I'm reading The Turtle Moves!: Discworld's Story So Far by Lawrence Watt-Evans, which I got for Christmas.

Reading Equal Rites just finished The Last Hero & watched Hogfather (DVD) during holidays. Guards, Guards is hilarious read it about a year ago! 8^)

#74

Looking at the page for the book, it seems to be literary criticism for Discworld. Is this right, and if so, what sort of literary comment is the book making about Discworld?

Actually, I wouldn't call it lit crit. It is a description of each of the books chronologically with no spoilers (so more just setting and characters and initial set-up), then dividing them into four threads and commenting on that, then commenting on the comments. LWE likes Pratchett, works somewhat too hard at making clever comments and is very complimentary. For me, the pluses are having a resource to keep the characters in the different books straight, having a quick guide to what books go with what series in what order, and the online resources that he points you to, which I haven't had a chance to follow up with yet but appear to be what I really wanted in the first place. Probably way too light for the serious Discworld fan, but a good intro and, for someone like me who has been reading Pratchett for at least 20 years but not really in any organized fashion, an overview.

Going to finish Feet of Clay tonight, which means Hogfather next (which I've never read before - stupid compulsive need to read books in order)!

Re-reading making money. What seemed like satire the first time I read it now seems like understated realism. Sigh.

I have The Art of Discworld & when i read Pratchett book i look up the characters to see what they look like. The actors in Hogfather were very well chosen & Mr. Teatime is just plain creepy in the book as well as on the DVD. 8^)

Went straight from Mort to Soul Music, having both read and watched Hogfather just before Christmas.

I'm currently reading Guards! Guards!. I'm trying to read the Watch series in Order for a change even though I've already read the Night Watch, but I've forgotten most of it so it's ripe for a re-read.

Hello everybody !
I'm completely new to Pratchett and Discworld, I've just bought a copy of Mort to discover the author as I've read a lot about which book to start with and I've finally decided I'll start with the Death arc.
The book's been wonderful so far, so I joined the group :) I hope I'll be strong enough not to click on too many spoilery threads !

The Truth is awesome, can't wait for thief of time

I've just started The Folklore of Discworld which I'm finding interesting. Some of the folklore I was aware of, but other bits make you go "So that's where he got it from..."

I just finished reading Night Watch again, for about the sixth or seventh time.

The Guards or Watch series of books contain most of my favorites, and this gem seems to rise in my estimation every time I read it.

Moving Pictures 8^)

I'm reading Thief of Time. Found it hard to get into, but that might be because I started it in the ER at the hospital and was a bit distracted. It's going better now that I'm about a third of the way in and have a feel for the characters.

Currently in the middle of both Going Postal and Good Omens so far, I haven't got the events confused... but it will get even funnier when I do. :)

Night watch is awesome! finishing it.

Just finished Moving Pictures my 3rd Discworld in a row. Think i'll come up for air, for awhile, anyway! 8^)

I just read Going Postal and am now into Making Money. I just wrote a blog post about how damned good Pratchett is at his fantasy satire formula. Really stellar writer.

The Last Hero - great entry into the Discworld series, particularly loved all of the illustrations.

Strata - quite ordinary. Below ordinary, actually. Although I haven't finished Strata yet, it lacks the satire and wit of his Discworld series, and most of his non-Discworld books, for that matter. And it's not funny. Although I can occasionally see glimmerings of the Discworld series here, only serious Pratchett fans need apply.

rojse - I read Strata a few years ago. It's definitely does not have the...whatever it is that makes Discworld Discworld. But I enjoyed it and found it fascinating as a precursor to Discworld. The Pratchett books have an interesting evolution.

edited to fix a little typo.

#94

Finished the book. The ending is quite good, but does not redeem the rest of the book. You are right about your assessment of Strata - I was expecting something in the same vein as Discworld (whatever that means), but didn't get it, and that's my main dissapointment.

I'm actually cheating right now because I was supposed to start my first Charles de Lint book (The Blue Girl) but I forgot my De Lint at home and had Reaper Man by Pratchett in my bag so I ended up starting Reaper Man. This is my second book by Pratchett (after Mort)and he's slowly becoming one of my favourite authors. He's fantastic.

Reaper Man is excellent, Pratchett at his mature best. Glad you are enjoying it. Jealous that you have all these great books still to discover. But, we'll always have re-reads.

I have just finished thud
I am just picking up the odd few books I missed when they first came out. Hmm. I seemed to have also missed eric
I did enjoy Thud, Vimes seems richer. Is this the last FULL Watch novel? I'm also trying to buy copies of all the DW books I don't own. Still 25+
sigh.

Yes, it is the last full Watch novel, as of now, unfortunately. Other than Where's my Cow, which doesn't really count.

Well Moving on, I'm almost finished with Monstrous Regiment and I finished Going Postal and Night Watch not too long ago. I'm loving Terry Pratchett more and more with each book.

i have read the last 14 dw books without a break (15 if you include the amazing maurice) and not got bored

now reading wee free men

I just finished Small Gods. Loved it. :)

Just Started Lords and Ladies, didn't realize that the wizards would be in it when I bought it. Glad they are, I'm loving the Archchancelor (sp) Bursar exchanges.

Reading Sourcery at the moment. I'm attempting to actually read them in order...something I almost never do when it comes to series.

Right now I'm juggling rereads of Night Watch and Men at Arms and reading Guards! Guards! for the first time. Just finished Thud! yesterday!

I LOVE the Watch arc, by far my favorite, but I'm so hopelessly out of order. To give you an idea, the first Watch novel I read was Night Watch. Which is all sort of.. flashbacks in a way.. Funny how it wasn't confusing at all, until after I read the others. Definitely needed a reread.

I'm making my way back through the series again, start to finish. Just got in the 2 cartoon movies and Hogfather, plus COM is coming to me in July. I wanted to reread them all then have a moviefest. :o)

I'm on Eric right now.

#106

Are the cartoon series' on DVD, or only on VHS?

They're on DVD; you can order them on Amazon.

Hi, Everyone, Just joined your club and at present I'm re-reading Hogfather (6th time) Great Stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*waves at unorna*

Hi MrsLee! *waves back*.

I finished Guards! Guards! on Sunday and now I'm tearing through Feet of Clay. This stuff is so brilliant! I'm a little bit saddened because I've only got Jingo left before I'm done with the Watch arc..

Have you read The night watch and Thud! which are also watch books and chronologically after Jingo?

Yep. I started the Watch books waaaay out of order. Here's how I've read them:

1. Night Watch
2. Men at Arms
3. The Fifth Elephant
4. Thud!
5. Guards! Guards!
6. Feet of Clay

And then I'll read Jingo.

Maybe when I'm all the way done, I'll go back and read them in chronological order..

You should read Masquerade. It features a large cameo from several members of the Watch, but really stars the Witches.

They do turn up in other books. Carrot has a large part in the last hero, Nobby in the hogfather for example.

They do turn up in other books, such as those mentioned, but the Watch plays an important role in Masquerade.

Unless Nanny and Granny visit Ankh-Morpork again, it's as close as we are going to get to a Witches and Watch combined novel.

I'm definitely adding Masquerade to my list! (why is there not a touchstone for that one?) I have $5 for Borders, so I'll probably scoop that one up. I was also considering Moving Pictures since it's in Ankh-Morpork, and I really love the city, though I'd probably never ever want to live there. :-D Except last time I was in at Borders (Sunday. I work there.) somebody had obviously been reading the copy we had in, because A PAGE WAS DOGEARED and the spine was obviously cracked. I mean, seriously? How do you crack a spine reading the first 50 or so pages??!

Grrrargh. That makes me mad. Though, stupid bookstore customers often have that effect. Affect? Both!

I am currently reading Reaper Man after having finished Mort, which was the first Discworld book I actually finished. I'd made several false starts jumping into the middle of the novels and grew bored with them about half way through. I'm now pretty certain it was because either I was starting in the middle or because I was an idiot then. And the two, I suppose, are not mutually exclusive.

I've also got loaners of the audiobooks available, so I'm listening in straight chronological. Currently I'm halfway into The Colour of Magic and it's competing for listening time with Jose Saramago and... winning.

Cheers,
Christopher

OoooOoooh, I wish I had easy access to the audio books! I love them. Stephen Briggs is my favorite, but Nigel Planer is okay, too. They're hard to get for me, though. My library only has Making Money, and they managed to get Thud! for me through interlibrary loan. It came all the way to Florida from Wisconsin!

And then there's audible.com, but I only get 2 credits a month, and the books by themselves, even at member price, are over $40..

I see you're only a couple hours north of me in Tampa. I live in Fort Myers. Even with Overdrive the Lee County Library doesn't seem to have good access to a lot of the audiobooks I'm interested in. My wife does okay with the library but I have to use Audible or loansies with friends.

The Discworld audiobooks do seem to range from $14-40 even at members rates on Audible, but at least they all seem to be 1 credit downloads.

Anyway, I look forward to getting further into Discworld.

Maskerade is spelled like this.

Touche. Or should that be touché?

Paxie, I finished Moving Pictures not too long ago and I highly recommend it. But you should also know, the entire thing does NOT take place in Ankh-Morpork. Much of it is in Holy Wood. But I'm sure you'll love it.

Also, Just finished Lords and Ladies very good.

Just started Reaper Man and I'm looking forward to the other one on my shelf Pyramids

Whoever above wanted more books about the Watch, they're pretty prominently featured in The Truth, which is one of my favorites. I guess it's set chronologically between The Fifth Elephant and Thud.

Hi all a newbie here! I've been a TP fan for many years and have read ALL his books. I am re-reading Going Postal before the movie comes out and waiting patiently for his new book in October!!!! Great to meet you all and share the wonders of Discworld with you :)

I am reading The Light Fantastic for the first time. I am pretty new to Discworld and I still haven't read all the books yet. I am working on it though.

Currently in the middle of Thud! When I finish I think that I will start Equal Rites since I did borrow it from my brother in laws fiance.

That's my wife reading Thud! I love getting her hooked on books I like. I'm reading The Fifth Elephant. She just bought me Hogfather and I'm going to start it next.

#129

So, you're a pusher, then?

reading the last continent, good times...

#130

yep... I've been known to invite people over to display the inside of a trenchcoat covered in Space Turtles, Gargleblasters, and dead Parrots.

I'm rereading Feet of Clay. I an trying to get a friend to read Guards! Guards!

Just finished Interesting Times and working on Equal Rites, then I might take a short break from Pratchett and read some of the other books on my ever growing TBR pile.

Name one from TBR - that's better than a Discworld - no joke - just interested?

Well, I have had The Book Thief on there for a while that I have been wanting to read, but I was looking through Men at Arms and I can hear it calling my name.

Honey, # 135 does have a point. go on... read the Pratchett... (I'm pushing again, aren't I.)

also, I decided to read The Light Fantastic rather than Hogfather I'll get to it next.

#135 - Much as I love Pratchett, I do find I need breaks from him to appreciate him more. It's always such a pleasure to return, that I like to go away now and then. You know, absence makes the heart grow fonder?

#138

Perhaps it is because you are seeing how few authors manage to compare to Pratchett?

I agree with MrsLee. It's like eating your favorite food everyday. Sooner or later you need something to cleanse the palette. Of course I do this by reading a few books a once. Right now it's Hogfather, Rising Sun, and A Lion Among Men

I find that the more I read others, the more I appreciate the familiar and ever swimming Disc-world.

I have found the "Legends" anthology, which includes the Pratchett short "The Sea and Little Fishes".

Will start Making Money today. That will finish my Guards group, then I will begin the Witches series.

I can't seem to get this whole thread to load, so I don't remember what I said in the message above, but I finished Making Money. Enjoyed it tremendously. Now I feel educated in economics, I just wish we were on the golem standard.

I'm working on rereading Soul Music. A member of my family plays the guitar, so they are able to point some things out.

Just about halfway through Unseen Academicals.

Dave

Currently reading Thief of Time

Just finished Nanny Ogg's Cookbook. Precious little bits of advice, love the editor's notes here and there (or whatever he was, publisher?) I plan on sharing her insight into oysters with my dad, because he feels the same way about them.

Here's something Nanny Ogg would have appreciated. My great-grandmother once invited the young men she taught in Sunday School over for a dinner. She served one of them a raw oyster, only she had tied a thin thread around it. When he tried to swallow it, she kept pulling it back up!

I am only a thrd of the way thru "Unseen Academicals" even though I bought it on the day it was released in Australia. There is a 2 page artice/interview of Sir TP in the 30 October 2009 issue of The New Scientist.

Not feeling very well, so as always I return to 'comfort reading', and today it was Men at arms. Have read it so many times that I predict the text coming up, but being in the Discworld made me forget my aching head for a while...
Unseen Academicals is on the way to me now, so need to conquer this cold, and get ready to read!

I've just begun Equal Rites, my first read of it. Enjoying it so far! I'm a bit worried though, Esk hasn't been in any of the other books I've read, so I'm wondering what happens to her. Don't tell me yet! :)

I just picked up Unseen Academicals from the library but I can't read it yet! I have a few other things in the pile that need to be finished first.

Mrs. Lee, I haven't read that one either, so I can't tell you. But when I read Men at Arms I was very worried about a certain dwarf. Turns out I was right, hopefully you won't be.

Also, I just finished Thief of Time and getting ready to start either Small Gods or Eric

Just finished with The Last Continent and nearly through with Eric. I think that I may start Small Gods next.

I just finished The Last Hero. I love some of the illustrations.

I am just re-reading because i've read them all before but i am enjoying it just as much second (in some cases 3rd or 4th) time round. I am re-reading Reaper Man.

O.K., I think Equal Rites is right up there for my least favorite Discworld book. The story ends with a plop, and the only other familiar character in the book is Granny. Granted, it's a fine story for Granny, but who were those wizards?

Equal Rites was before the wizards stabilized and became long term characters. It is the same way in many of the earlier Rincewind books.

156> I felt the same way about Equal Rites. When I finished it it was like huh??? Definitely a Pratchett book that I will not be rereading.

Reading Hogfather & then i'll watch the DVD again! Started this as a Christmas tradition, ritual might cover it better. Other rituals are watching A Charlie Brown Christmas & How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original animated version w/narration by Boris Karloff). have never seen the live action version w/Jim Carrey & never will! 8^)

I already read the Hogfather this year and just now finished the first part of the film.

I just recently finished Eric on my kindle. I have to say while I enjoyed the book, reading a Pratchett novel on a kindle just isn't the same as holding the actual book. Now I am reading Small Gods

I just began Wyrd Sisters for the first time. I'm loving it so far. "Mother of the night, indeed." Gotta love Granny.

currently between Pratchetts, though (A Hat Full of Sky) is calling me. Unless you count (Where's my Cow?) which my 2 yr old granddaughter adores

I finished Witches Abroad. A truly fine exposition on the danger of mirrors.

Im a big Vimes fan so have been re-reading the Watch books. Reading the last, Thud!, at the moment. Think my favourite is Night Watch. Ah, good old Vimes. Thud! feels kinda like the last Vimes book though. Really hope Im wrong.

Reading Sourcery right now. Not sure which I'll go to next.

I'm rereading Good Omens, along with a group over in the Green Dragon.

Unseen Academicals because i finally got the paperback. I read it ages ago in hardcover from the library but it's always nice to go back to Discworld.

Doing a reread of Lords and Ladies. This was about my third Pratchett book, and I loved it. I'm reading through the witches stories at the moment, and it was next in line.

After reading I Shall Wear Midnight I started a reread of the series. Currently I'm in the middle of Equal Rites.

My mother and I are both reading I Shall Wear Midnight albeit several hundred miles apart.

I just started Thud again gotta love the watch and Sam Vimes :)

Listening to the audio version of Jingo.

I read the print version a few years ago, but I do not remember much of it. I am thoroughly enjoying the rediscovery. The Vimes books are my favorites :)

Decided it was high time I read a Pratchett book this year, so I started Maskerade. I think I'm going to adore it.

I've got Jingo downloaded onto my kindle. I will start it tonight

Hi all,
Just finished (OK 20 pages to go) I shall wear midnight
Quite a different feel to his early stuff, and I can feel him thinking about his approaching death. His writing has improved and evolved a lot.
I enjoyed this more than unseen academicals

Reading I shall Wear Midnight, of course.
Great book, and the topping is Ms. Smith :)

Reading Sourcery at the moment. Almost finished... nice one!

Going to begin Carpe Jugulum tonight. It is the second discworld book I ever read and fell completely in love with the world. Now I'm reading through the witch's storyline and it's next. Happy days!

The Witches are certainly great characters. Starting Pyramids myself tonight. Just finished Wyrd Sisters. Great read!

I'm not reading any Discworld books at the moment but, preparatory to moving house in six weeks time, when I will be in housing limbo for a couple of weeks, I have loaded 14 Disworld books onto my Kobo e-reader to keep me entertained while my tree-books are in storage.

I've got Lords and ladies about half done

Having just met the Man himself TP i have decided to re-read all the discworld books (beacuse i've read them all) and starting of course with the colour of magic and just about finished. I can't wait till October though when "Snuff" is released!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just skimming the whole collection as I struggle with the Discworld game thread.

I started The Wee Free Men last night, and I'm already in love with it.

Just about finished with Jingo.

Just finished A Hat Full of Sky. Thought I would wet my pants and had to quit reading to wipe the tears when I read the part about the scarecrow in the stagecoach. Loved the whole story.

I'm reading Wintersmith right now. I'm underwhelmed, but it's far and above better than the two non-Discworld books I'm reading.

A sad thought: I only have a couple of unread Discworld books left. Then to wait for Snuff. Then?

Happy thought: I own all the Discworld novels and can reread them any time I like.

I am reading Thief of Time for about the tenth time; it is one of my favourite Discworld books.

#118 MrsLee, I have been underwhelmed by the last couple of Pratchett books, although I enjoyed I Shall Wear Midnight. I know that I will buy and read Snuff but I am not looking forward to it the way i used to get excited about new Pratchett publications.

I am reading A Hat Full of Sky, or at least about to start it. I have about 12 Terry Pratchett's and try to space out reading them since I don't know when I can get more. It's frustrating to be able to afford something, and not be able to find it for sale.
I like the witches best, also Death and his sense of humor.

I am finally reading I Shall Wear Midnight, can't wait to finish so I can read the thread about it that I marked with a star ages ago.

I've just finished rereading The Last Hero.

I just finished re-reading Thief of Time. All the discussion on the Snuff thread made me nostalgic. It was the first Pratchett book I read. :) And is, consequently, one of my favourites.

Reading I Shall Wear Midnight, and waiting for the new book to come out on paperback :3

I'm trying to read Christmas themed books this month, so I guess I'll pick up Hogfather to reread for the third or fourth time. :)

I'm re-listening to Interesting Times and usually also re-listen to Hogfather around Christmas.

Thought I would take a minute before plunging into worklife to say "Hello."

I recently (a couple of weeks ago) "discovered" Pratchett / Discworld c/o the book sharing shelf where I work: picked up copies of The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic and, I have to say, devoured them greedily.

In very short, they made this often-exceedingly-grumpy 50-year-old reader (dare I type it) ... uhm, happy.

Currently reading Equal Rites on my Kindle. So many riches to look forward to ...

chexmix! I envy you the joys of discovery as you read. I've only got a few more Discworld novels to read before I've read them all. However, I fully intend to read them all again! :)

OK, I'm finally going to allow myself to read Snuff. I've been saving it for a time when I REALLY needed a new Pratchett work, and that time is now.
