There's not a huge amount of fiction discussion going on at the moment, so I thought I'd take a thread to talk about one of the most charming fiction series out there, and to ask what people here like the most about it [if they do at all], and which installments are their favourite in it. I've always loved Mort the most though that is a fairly popular opinion, they story and journey of it are enjoyable but I love the existentialism present throughout too.

I'm a Rincewind fan myself. His books mostly kept to the wacky tone of the first few books.
I was disappointed by the quality of the last few books, especially Rising Steam and Snuff.

I can understand that, Terry was losing himself towards the end so it's an unavoidable side effect that things would change sadly
