i only read about the first 10 of them some years ago, then they started getting a bit boring and repetitive, though i remember that "mort" and "wyrd sisters" were my favourites by some way.

Search: _The Colour Of Magic_, _The Light Fantastic_, _Equal Rites_, _Mort_, _Holy Wood_, _Wyrd Sisters_, _Small Gods_, _Soul Music_, _Maskerade_, _Interesting Times_, _Guards! Guards!_, _Men At Arms_

Destroy: _The Last Continent_, _Jingo_, _The Fifth Elephant_,

I read and reviewed the first several years ago. They are fun, but I got tired of them after a while.

Neil Gaiman wrote one book with Pratchett. He told me years back that they were working on another, to be called 664: The Neighbour Of The Beast. I don't imagine it would have lived up to that title.

_Good Omens_! CLASSIC book.

Good Omens' schtick was even more wearying than Neverwhere's (he's the Antichrist! but he's an ordinary kid! repeatfor300pages). Gaiman works better in short form - 22-page comic books, his short stories, his shortest novel, Stardust, being his best - but his Big Stories are tiring.

Pratchett. hm. Funny for the first few, if you're geeky enough to get the jokes (which is, I think, the knowing-what-Fritz-Leiber- writes-about level of geekiness and not the stage further into having- actually-read-a-lot-of-Fritz-Leiber), and after that search, for various reasons, Small Gods, The Last Hero, Lords and Ladies, and the City Watch books: Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, etc.

S the wyrd sister ones

The Pratchett books are getting boring but Good Omens was GREAT. Neverwhere was NOT. And my choir teacher promised me several times months ago to let me borrow his Sandman comics but he's never brought them in, hmph.

I've only read the Colour of Magic and the Light Fantastic, but enjoyed both quite a bit and am eager to pick up the next one. I say go for it, Anthony! Good Omens was very good as well - anyone else heard anything about the movie?

NOTE: _Holy Wood_ is supposed to by _Moving Pictures_. I just started _Thief Of Time_ and am chuckling mightily so far.

eight years pass...

was looking through the Wikipedia list of these and dude was firing on all cylinders from 1994 - 1996 (Soul Music, Interesting Times, Maskerade, Feet of Clay, Hogfather)
