    Terry Pratchet

    Whats the newest book he has out. I rather enjoyed his last, I think that was either the Nightwatch or the army one I cant remember. What are everybodys favorites. I personally prefer the Theif Of Time.

    I've mostly only read the first few. I actually learned about him through a MUD I used to go to, at Discworld.Imaginary.net, If I am correct.

    Most recent one is called "Going Postal." One of his better ones lately, and certainly one of the best performances by Lord Vetinari.

    I had thought that a book about a post office couldn't be wonderful, but I must learn to trust Terry.

    Hard to say which one is my favorite, there are so many good ones.

    I really loved Going Postal. I don't always love Pratchett, but that one was a winner. I might even re-read it.

    He's like a British Douglas Adams.

    What other kind of Douglas Adams is there?

    As much as I love that brand of humor, the Discworld books just don't do a thing for me. (I read five or six of them before finally giving up in boredom.) On the other hand, Good Omens, which Pratchett co-wrote with Neil Gaiman, is one of my favorites in the 'silly fun' realm.
