Any Terry Pratchett fans out there?
I'm a huge fan of the Discworld books... Especially Hogfather and Thief of Time.

I haven't read to many of his books but from what I read, they are great.
My favorite so far is The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. Its hysterical.

I have never read one of his books, but have heard of great things about them.

awww quoting a burst out from a librarian with whom I was chatting to the other day when checking out books at the local library.. "Terry Pratchett!! GREAT FUN!!" 
I just blinked stood back and stifled a giggle. But no for real, they really are great fun! I love them. And what is it with the ... well I find a lot of people who have just finish reading one of his books - right after still have his lingo style rambling around in their heads and converse and articulate themselves just like him. hehe kinda funny how that happens... yeah does anyone find that true too? 
haha! after reading his works or observing others read his works usually there is an after-effect where they parrot his "style" LOL! deary me. And you gotta just love other Terry Pratchett readers and our appreciation for the same stupid cheeky humor hehe

If you liked "Maurice", read some of the later Discworld books. The early ones are fun, but like many authors, Pratchett's style has improved with practice, and the later ones are great. I didn't really like "Maurice" all that much...maybe due to the age of audience it was targeted at?

I love Terry Pratchet. My favorite was Reaper Man - but I think that was mainly because it was the first I read and so his quirky stlye was new to me. "The moving stairs weren't" - genius! I rarely laugh out loud reading books, but I did loads whilst reading this!
Has anyone read The Truth? What did you think of

his referencing Pulp Fiction? I thought it was great. Audatious, but he can get away with things like that.

I love Terry Pratchett; I've enjoyed everything of his I've had the chance to read (still more to go), but for me it was all about Small Gods and Soul Music... Death riding the motorcycle the Librarian built was just too much for me!
