Worried Does Anyone Read Terry Pratchett???

I understand that his writing is an acquired taste, but I absolutely adore his style of writing, and I was wondering if any of you like him too, or perhaps don't, and why?

Also, favourite books of his, for those who read his work?

Gotta say mine are Maskerade, & Night Watch.

Fraid I don't read Terry Pratchett... read his books, though!!! Met the man twice... he's very polite, friendly, and entertaining, and not afraid of hats... I especially like Small Gods... and Mort... and Colour of magic... and ..... (insert title of any Pratchett book here)

I read hiss stuff. His first books are pretty rough around the edges, but he's very funny. I especially likes Interesting Times.

Read a few of his books, but the only one which really made an impression was Good Omens, which he wrote with Neil Gaiman. That's brilliant.

My favourite has to be the Guards series, Guards! Guards! Nightwatch etc etc. (nightwatch actually had serious bits that made me have feelings and stuff) love the bit where he uses the dragon as a firearm.. hehe.

Yes it's good stuff people. I think Eric/Faust made me laugh the most out of all his though. Actually laughing out loud getting funny looks from poeple laughing.
