I'd be happy with any of them, but I'll cast my vote for Guards! Guards!
It is a good introductory book to Discworld for those new to Pratchett, and helps refresh the memory a bit in anticipation of Thud. --------- She was not quite what you would call refined.

It's still a toss up between Guards! Guards! and good omens for me.
Edit: I think that for anyone who's new to the watch story-arc reading the books in which Vimes is still an alcoholic first is rather important. ~ Gal-El You don't have to be a basketball player, you can be the president of the United States. ~ LeBron James. |

sorry, newbie here. Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite fantasy writers now. If we're voting on which of his discworld or other books to start reading/bookclubbing, i vote for Good Omens. I haven't read that in years. Also i just recently, in the last few years, went through a whole slew of ;almost the whole series from The color of magic to Going Postal; discworld novels and illustrated book (The Last Hero) and loved them. Only the first discworld book i read, Small Gods, i didn't really like then for whatever reason and i've only read it the once (sorry, Inagreyplace). I don't know if i have a favorite character or book from Discworld, but having read Going Postal twice and A Hatful of Sky after it came out, i liked both those books greatly and Moist von Lipwig and Tiffany Aching the best. Oh, And I almost forgot Cohen the Barbarian. Don't care for Rincewind as much and am glad he hasn't been in the last few books i've read. N.B. ididn't read them in order and i missed a few .
Oh, sorry if i'm rambling on for too long in the wrong thread. and i''l head for the pratchett thread after this post. Thanks, Hin. |

Smaug, are you going to vote, or do you have no preferences out of the above list?

hehe, I'll have the casting vote if it's a tie.
I love all pratchett books (well, not so mad on dark side of the sun or the other one pre-discworld) so I'll have fun anyway. ~ I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. trolls are like pigeons..keep feeding them and they keep coming back and shitting in your street. |

Ooh I haven't read Pratchett in 2 years. I've read most of 'em though.
However, I SUCK at bookclubs. I prefer to read at my own pace and my own thing, so I'll keep out of the voting, but I would say I love the witches ones, Lords and Ladies I found really gripping.  "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |
