Favorite Discworld books?

[Juni]

I want to read more of Discworld, but my normal method of starting with the first and reading chronologically did not work particularly well. I can't recall offhand the name of the first Discworld novel, but I do remember not liking it much.

So far I've read Small Gods and Pyramids; I liked the former quite a bit, and liked the latter well enough.



So, what are your favorites?

Small Gods is probably my absolute favourite. After that Soul Music, Moving Pictures, Guards Guards and Carpe Jugulum.

Hope you find some you enjoy :D

Small Gods is cool.
Thief of Time, too.

I like all the Witches Books, and Death is one of my favorite characters.
The all-wizard books I am not soo fond of.

I think The Color of Magic was the first book, IIRC, and I didn't care for it much either. Never read Pyramids, but I enjoyed Small Gods too.

I like the books that involve Death and his granddaughter Susan with Hogfather and Thief of Time tying for my favorite. I'm also very fond of the books that center around the Discworld witches with The Tiffany Aching series (Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, and Wintersmith) coming in as my #1 choice.

I have these lying around here, waiting to be read.
Tho' I find the wee-free men accent terrible hard to read.

It is tough, yeah. I actually tried listening to them on my iPod as audiobooks and liked it better. I don't know if that's an option for you, but I thought the English narrator did a really nice job with the Nac Mac Feegle accents.

I am going to say that Hogfather is my favorite but it is more fun to read around the Holiday Season (since it satirizes various Christmas tropes)...or at least it is to me since I want to make it a personal tradition to re-read it every year around that time.

Other than that, the entire Death sub-series (which Hogfather is apart of) is my favorite. Yeah, I know. Surprise, surprise.

*passes Aisling the shared small intestine as I'm done playing jump rope*

Thank gods that I've handed you back the brain or I'd have quite the mental picture to cope with. :D
