Re: what to read next?

GODS MAN! YOU HAVE NO SOUL! YOU HAVEN'T BEEN EXPOSED TO Pterry's GREATEST WORKS

Small gods (an absolute must) religion/history satyr...good - no familiar characters
Pyramids - no familiar characters, about egypt and rulership...insight into assassins guild
last continent - Rincewind...not so funny for you but it's a great parody of OZ and i have no idea how he knew some of that stuff
fifth elephant - vimes, trade, politics
nightwatch - vimes, history of AM revolution. first book my dad and i ever read by him....That's when we saw the light. twas amazing
Jingo - Vimes, goes to klatch, satyrises jingoism, politics and warfare
Thief of time - excelent book lu tze (who also popes up in nightwatch) monks of time...just ueber
monstrous regiment - parody on warfare and how that taxes a country. horrors of war etc NFC
thud - speciesism, tribal rifts, vimes et al
Going Postal - postal service, AM, NFC
Makin Money - I hear ueber things and since pterrys books get progressively better and better.....
The Truth - parody on the media, NFC

This is I feel the best of the best in the DW. read them all or die lacking

Well as others have suggested Mort is next and it was nice reading them in order not that i had a lot of choice as i am always waiting for the next one to come out and try to get it as quickly as i can. But it is possible to read them as several mini series so check out this link to see the various orders that they can be read in.

Re: what to read next?

wow...some stuff there i've not heard of

what's with mort? why is everyone praising it so? It was a good book no mistake but I found Pterry's later stuff to be far superior...maybe i just haven;t read ti in a while but did I miss something?

i agree that the later pterry is better, but starting with the early books make the following even 'better'-er Wink i think.

Re: what to read next?

i am almost finished reading equal rites and next on the list is mort. I was at the orthodontist this morning and to take my mind of the plyers and glue and japenese people with amazing english telling you to "open wider.....wider....wider..WIDER!" i read some more of equal rites. in the waiting room of coarse. It says you have to pay £1 for every minute you are late for the appointment but i would be £45 richer if they paid us £1 for every munite over our appointment!!!!

i know this suounds stupid, but i tend to prefer the ones before kirby (om bless his soul) died, kidbys artwork aint as cool. Although a good vimes story rules all others...
My discworlding was wierd, starting with maurice and the rodents(its a cool book, is that)
then i bought FOC and MAA, followed by thud, before a mass amazon buy, gaining me all but carpe jugulum, which is my next catch...
