Best Discworld Sub-Genre Most everyone agrees that Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is outstanding. But which sub-genre of Discworld books is the best? Is it the Rincewind books? The witches? The City Watch books? The one-offs (e.g. Small Gods, Pyramids, Going Postal, etc.)? Something else?
Take a position and explain why your pick is superior to the rest. Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.

The Rincewind books, because that's what started it, and Rincewind rocks! As does luggage, and Eric.

Where would you start with the books? What they all about?

My friend said the "Watch" and the "Susan" ones, he then said "Well more Susan/Death" since he is STILL the Eskiv champion he is obviously right and what he says must never be disagreed with. I'm so cool; put me in a fridge and it gets colder!
I'm Australian and that makes me MANLY!

Start wherever you want, really. I got hooked on the series because of Thief of Time.

Yeah, the Susan Death ones are pretty good. And of course the Rincewind ones got it all going. But my vote's for the Vimes/Vetinari books, because they have the best character development and some of the deeper thoughts. I'm waiting for the inevitable showdown between Carrot and Vimes -- it's gotta happen, despite themselves.
EDIT: But then again, of course, my sig line is none other than Rincewind's motto, so who am I kidding?

I find I like the one-offs best, then the Watch books. The Witches and Rincewind get kind of old after a few books ...

Sub Genre?
What does that mean?
Oh, best interweaving thread, plot what have you or character set - I get you.
Rincewind and the luggage.

I'm with Kalivor -- prefer the one-offs (Small Gods is the one that got me hooked), then the City Watch books (Fifth Elephant is the best of these). Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.
