I’ve finally completed my unpacking of all my bits and pieces after a year living at the same address, books are now all shelved.
Whilst my mother and sister are the true Pratchett fans in the family (their knowledge is in the annoyingly encyclopaedic category), I’m just looking at the books in my admittedly smaller collection and assessing which books I like the most. I’d love to hear what others have to say about things! Some of my favourites follow…
Men at Arms - The second novel about the city watch and really opens up the characterisation of the cast. I love how it develops Vimes and Carrot.
Night Watch - A time travelling odyssey, I was already heavily invested in these characters, so much fun to see them as their younger selves in a real roller coaster ride.
Small Gods - The most difficult read from the entire catalogue, to me it’s a book that asks more questions than it answers… but seeing as it’s a satire about religion, that’s to be expected.
Mort / Reaper Man - Cheating here…a two novel swing. Books that challenge the nature of our preconceptions of death. I wish I had the right font to do the official DEATH VOICE.
Spoiler that will annoy some people….
I’ve never liked the Rincewind books. Convert me if you can! 🙂👍
