Pratchett, Terry

• Series: Discworld
  • The Colour of Magic (7 r)
  • The Light Fantastic (7 r)
  • Mort (6 r)
  • Sourcery (6 r)
  • Wyrd Sisters (3 r)

    • There are almost a dozen more books than the ones I listed here. I read the first four and thoroughly enjoyed them. The most slapstick world-view I've seen, and I really appreciated it coming from Dr. Parker's Parageography class at Texas. Probably the best writer along with Douglas Adams in the slapstick genre. Unfortunately, I thought Wyrd Sisters was thoroughly plodding, so I stopped reading after that, hoping someday to have someone tell me what the top five or so in the series are so I can just read those rather than buy them all.

  • Guards! Guards! (6)

    • This is the first Pratchett I've read in quite some time, on the recommendation of a few fans who sent me their top five. Although I found it somewhat entertaining, it wasn't really a riot. The plot was more interesting than most of the other books, but many of the situations just weren't funny enough to be dragged out for a whole chapter or two.
