Any Terry Pratchett Fans?

I love the Terry Pratchett Discworld books! They're hilarious! But they also usually have some sort of meaning to them. Anyone know what I mean?

I enjoy reading Terry Pratchett and I kinda want to get back into the MUD. However, I've only read a few of his books, so I'm not what you'd call a fan.

I've told Leadhead this before.

well, yes. i knew about YOU. i was wondering about others. and you should read more of the books.

hmmm... i havnt gone on the MUD in a while either. hope my characters not deleted.

I'm pretty sure he's not deleted. I've been inactive for about six months one time and I was still there.

So, about everyone else. Even if it's to say you've never heard of him or don't really care to read the series (I'm sure some of you are thinking that) just say it.

never heard of 'im.
*awaits trolling*

TROLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

You need to read him! They're hillarious! (I keep saying that word, but its TRUE!) you are not a real person untill you have read at least one Terry Pratchett book.

good titles of his books are:
Going Postal
Guards! Guards!
Thud
Monstrous Regiment
Jingo
Hogfather
Reaper Man

There are many more, of course, but those are some of my favorites.

I thought the Wee Free Men was funny. Still need to read the second book about them.

what kinda comedy is it? like just straight forward lolololol
or the kinda funny that is only funny when you think about it
or situational comedy
or trying too hard funnY?
haha

sorry for the double post it was ftl

lol, whatever. I think the only person that cares about others double posting is frager.

From what I've read, most of his works are situational comedy, with a little of the other kinds mixed in. Like for example: One of his books (think it's called Equal Rights) is about how all witches are women and all wizards are men (big difference in the kind of magic they use ), yet somehow, a wizard accidentally passes his powers on to a girl. It's not quite as funny as the Hogfather (I was laughing almost the entire time I was reading it), but you can still see the irony of the situation.

If I missed something or said something I shouldn't have, quickly correct me Leadhead!

you were right, iornman. the wizard passed his staff to the 8th son of an 8th son (8 is the magic # on the disc), but no one checked the gender of the baby untill it was too late.

hogfather is tied for my ultimate favorite with jingo. they really are lol books.

the humor is a wide range, but it mostly consists of satire on the stupidity of man and lolololol 'ness. you need to read it and see.

I remember in moving pictures someone from the alchemist guild made popcorn. Of course they didn't call it popcorn, instead they called it white fluff. And how animal sounds are not wuff or meow, they're more like mearouw or some drawn out sound that actually represents the sound a lot better.

yeah, nd in moving pictures he had a giant girl pic up the Librarian (who is an orangatan) and climb the tower of art. get it? a giant girl picks up an ape and climbs a tower? instead of the other way around?

sombody please guess what im reffering too.

idk why put ive this is my first post here, and ive never acually read what u guys are reading because i dont know who this person is...

*tackles frager and beats him with a Terry Pratchett book*

JUST READ ONE!!!!!!!!

Ah yes, the librarian! The librarian is a lucky person/monkey to be able to live such a simple life... At least they say he's quite content with his life.

no im not... *walks away slowly, then runs away*

Ask a hard question why dont you.

I'd say either Commander Vimes or Death are my faves. Moist von Lipwig is pretty cool too. and Cohen the Barbarian. and... argh! I like them all!

lol, I know how you feel. Just from the few books I've read, all the characters are very entertaining, even the boogyman.

yeah, no kidding. such a great character and hes only there for like, 3 pages!

Yeah, I think if he met any other character besides death's granddaughter we wouldn't have seen how amazing he really was.
