I have been wanting to make this thread for a long time but I always forget.
Im a huge discworld fan, having been turned on to the series as a coping mechanism for running out of Douglas Adams material (RIP). Thankfully that person was right, Pratchett is every bit as hilarious and creative as Adams.
Starting a couple years ago I have listened to every Discworld book on unabridged audiobook. The voice acting is sensational, especially the guy who voiced the first half of the series. Stephen Briggs, who voiced the latter half, took some getting used to but is pretty great too.
I assume someone here is a Pratchett supernerd, but he rarely gets brought up around here, seems like. Anyone else?
Its hard to pick favorites with Pratchett, but all the early books in the Witches series, the Night Watch series, any of the Death books, and anything with Rincewind fucking awesome.
Some of my favorite standalones in the Discworld epic are The Last Hero, Thief of Time, abnd The Wee Free Men (all time hilariousness in that book). By standalone I mean that anyone, familiar with the Discworld or not, could pick up, enjoy, and not feel left out.
