I'm currently reading "The Thieves of Time" and it's a cracker.
I've read at least 20 or more Pratchett books - he's ace!

It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

Re: Terry Fucking Pratchett
Thief of Time was, IIRC, the second Pratchett I read. It deepened my addiction, which was started with Hogfather. Ace, indeed.

Re: Terry Fucking Pratchett
Me too. Pratchett is freakin ossum!
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

I'm glad more people are getting into them!
Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Re: Terry Fucking Pratchett
I think any of them might be good, except the first books in the series. I'd start somewhere in the middle and see if it was any goodstripes4 wrote:I've never read any. What's a good starter one?

Re: Terry Fucking Pratchett
I started at the beginning, reading them in order (as it turned out, it doesn't make much difference what order you read them in) and have read all the Discworld books - currently on "I Shall Wear Midnight".
They're mostly all brill. Only a few duffish ones. My fave is Hogfather.

Re: Terry Fucking Pratchett
We've got a thread about that here with loads of suggestions. It's a bit complicated but if you start at one of the ones at the beginning of a major plot link you should be ok.stripes4 wrote:I've never read any. What's a good starter one?
