Someone else mentioned him on this site a while back so I think I would like to say that my favorite author is Terry Pratchett, and if anyone else reads him I would like to know. |

He's my favorite as well, and I believe Laura reads them, too. I'm a Watch fan (natch ). _________________ "If only I could believe you. Perhaps I can! After all... you do bear the name of a flower." -- Arbutus |

I used to read his books all the time. Then I tried reading the one about movies, couldn't finish it and grew bored. Maybe I didn't get the jokes because I don't know much about movies.
Still, Pratchett is one the funniest people in the world history, period. No other author has made me laugh out loud as much.  _________________ "Now nothing will stand in the way of DOING THE DISHES!" |

Thank you guys for weighing in here. I am glad to see the Aladdin/Terry Pratchett overlap is not only one person. My favorite character is probably Lord Vetinari, but I also like the Luggage. Ever read "Sourcery"? There's an evil grand vizier in it who reminded me of Jafar! |

Heh, I was about to recomment Sourcery to you if you hadn't already read it.  _________________ "If only I could believe you. Perhaps I can! After all... you do bear the name of a flower." -- Arbutus |

Sourcery was one of my first Pratchett books. I love Rincewind and the luggage too. But I haven't read any of his books in a while, I should go see if there's any new ones... _________________

I mainly read the "Death" story arcs. When my cat Minnie died, it gave me comfort that Death liked cats and that he was taking care of her. _________________

Yes, the Death ones are quite interesting. I like the one "Mort," where Death takes an apprentice. |

That's the first Discworld book I've read. _________________
