Default Best and Worst of Discworld
Best; Don't make me choose, damnit Probably a Vimes book, as they are the most interesting for comparing between worlds and Vimes is the most cynical bastard ever written

Worst: Eric; I don;t like the Rincewind books, but that one just doesn,t interest me. It's funny, sure, but not that interesting.

Welll, not sure if it's fair to count those, but those Macfneegle-whatwerethey aren't really that good.

I liked the one where Vimes' scheduler schedules him to die, die, die....

It was deleted by teh evil powers that be.



Its now clear that the administration of apolyton is controled by the Iluminati Zinc lobby overlords.

Small Gods is the best but it was long ago that I read them so I can't remember the worst.

Strange. IMHO Eric, Reaperman and Mort were the weakest.

[The very worst is the children's book "Is That My Cow?" It is awful! ]

Thief of Time, Interesting Times and Night Watch are the best...oh yeah and the first two Tiffany Acking triology: Wee Free Men and Hat Full of Sky.

Hurm, I don't know that I've been really disappointed by any Discworld book.

In addition to other likes mentioned above, I'll add Soul Music, Moving Pictures, and I can't believe no one listed Hogfather.

Strata is NOT a Discworld novel...at least according to Wikipedia.

...on the other hand, while poking around the Internet, I just discovered that The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is a Discworld novel. So there's one I haven't read yet!

I haven't read all of them and it's been awhile since I did. Didn't they all have the same basic plot pattern though?

Interesting Times wasn't funny; just lazy transcribing of stereotypes.

My first read was "Pyramids" and I still like it.

But at about that time I also discovered Douglas Adams, and he's much more to my taste.
