I am Sam Vimes. I am my favourite person and the favourite part of my life so far is 'Men at Arms'. Vetinari is a cunt.

I dont even remember, I haven't read them in years and i feel kind of dirty thinking about them

I think the ending to Guards! Guards! is the best ending of the entire series but my fav character is Death.

Favourite book HAS to be Going Postal.

Men at Arms, but. Jingo. Of all time.

Also Angua.

>> No.1670901

Going Postal is a personal favorite of mine, too.
Vetinari is my favorite character hands down, always gets me laughing, sometimes in a sad way. He's the biggest source of black humor in those books. Even Death is usually more silly than bleak or sardonic.

need to see the going postal movie.

i didn't "hate" the colour/light fantastic movie adaption but damn.. they really focused on the wrong gag/jokes, made it all fall really flat.

pretty much thought the same of GP tbh. Moist was good and Adora was a great Adora but blimey they, I think, got it wrong. I'm friends with Paddy Harkin as well (big swinging dick in Pratchett circles) and he thought it was as good as it could be for the budget...

Book: Mort or The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents
Character: Death

Haven't read any Pratchett books in years though.
Apparently there are some Pratchett movies/TV-minis out for quite a while. Are they any good?

Also dat Josh Kirby art, made me pick up Discworld in the first place back in the... 90s?

>> No.1671018

I've... never read a Terry Pratchett book.

Not that I have anything against him, I hear he's a great writer, I just never really had an inclination to read his work.

Going Postal was pretty good. Hogfather was decent. Colour of Magic/Light Fantastic was not good at all.

Also, hot female leads.

curse you.. now i try to think up a Discworld book without a hot female character/sidekick whatever..

all i can think up is the ones with susan.. or the withes.. yeah the witches.. but i guess Nanny Ogg is sexy in a medievel kinda way.

>> No.1671108

>>1671063

Eric, didn't have any either, i think i might have forgotten.

also, i can easily argue Nanny Oggs glamour, just by the fact that the worlds greatest lover pursued her affection.

well I haven't read the "new" books (I stopped reading Pratchett at around 2000) and as far as I remember, in all the old ones, the female characters are usually normal looking to ugly

>> No.1671145

Pyramids? Moving pictures? Sourcery? all had, shall we say, buxomed main characters.
