Hi, I'm new to this whole yahoo group thing. I'm from Portsmouth, UK, love the discworld books, fav characters are vimes and Granny Weatherwax. Like to read...
Welcome. We're all very nice on here (well I am) if a little quiet from time to time. Marie From: Sarah Austerberry ... the discworld books, fav characters are...
I guess it would depend on what you mean by "nice." For example, Granny Weatherwax is good and righteous, etc., but she is hardly nice :-) I'm more like Nanny...
... Nanny Ogg should carry around a sign saying "I aten't nice" to match Granny's sign. People mistake her easy-going nature and grin for "nice" -- but she...
You're right, of course. I was thinking that someone who drinks as much as she does, and enjoys sex as much as she does, must be pretty nice. Yes, less...
I loved it as well. It's prequel is great too. I'm looking forward to more books with Tiffany. Although, I'm hoping he doesn't get rid of Granny Weatherwax...

howdy all you all i just bought "going postal" and i started reading it last night. the first thing that made me blink was a prologue i thought "ok, that's a...
Hi, Long time reader, first time "posting". I'm almost finished with reading Thud! and it is, in my opinion, one of tp's better books. I absolutely love Sam....
I'm not sure why he did it, perhaps someone else can answer that question, ut the chapters seem to parody Dickens. ... then there was another prologue, and i...
It's an old method. Maybe he was trying to draw us into another period of time? Maybe he had too many complaints from people who needed a stopping place so...
I finished Thud a little while ago and it was lovely. The butler was a great character. I think that Sam is one of TP's fav characters to write about since...
Sky One & what used to be Hallmark have teamed up to make a live action version of Hogfather. They will start shouting in Romania in April for a Xmas 2006...
GOING POSTAL. To start off with (and i think i mentioned this before)- I kinda did a double take and immediately looked for a co-author when I opened the book...
... I'm sure you'll enjoy this one as much as you did enjoy Going Postal. ... The very first Discworld book was divided into four parts, with some good will...
... How about Soul Music: The album? Or The Truth: The newspaper? Or Going Postal: The stamps? Errr... wait a minute - they already exist! -- Daniël...
An interesting thing I found about Going Postal is that the chapter titles seemed to be in the style of Dickens. Anyone else notice this? Possibly can anyone...
I first read Mort, my first Pratchett book, when it was published way back when and I was hooked. Since then I had moved to the States where it was hard to buy...
To err is human...... I made my first post a question instead of introducing myself. Such rudeness! My apologies. I'm an uprooted Englishman living in the...
... No problem, introducing isn't a requirement. We already know that you're a fan of the Discworld, you wouldn't be posting on this mailing list otherwise. I...
you're forgiven! my first read was guards! guards! and once i started- i read it in one sitting! first time i ever did that... from then on it was like attack...
A lot of people used to do it that way. It used to be the default chapter heading: "In which this, this, and this happen." It might have been a variant on...
I totaly agree. Infact I would go so far as to say one of TP's worst ever books. Never before have I got the impression that Terry's rushing towards a finish...
... I wouldn't go as far as calling it one of his worst, I liked the book. Maybe not as good as Going Postal but still very enjoyable. ... I haven't had enough...
Please don't get me wrong. ALL TP's books are enjoyable but He's had better. I do like your ideas about Howondaland and His slant on the King Arthur legend...
Hello All, My name is Trent and I just joined the group, though I have been reading TP books for several years now. About me, I'm from Idaho, I like to also...
Hi all, I don’t understand all the negativity surrounding Thud… One of the more interesting things about the Citywatch and Vimes in particularly is, in my...
Hello. I'm pretty new to this group. My name is Pattie. Over the past 2 years I've read almost all the Discworld books. I am currently reading The Last...
