The one thing I remember is that they used my mental casting for Sacharissa Cripslock that I had since reading The Truth.

Imagined posted:Now I'm on Thief of Time. It's one I almost never hear anyone mention as a favorite or least favorite, but I'm really enjoying it. I think I really enjoy the jokes poking fun at the tropes of orientalism and kung-fu movies. I particularly love every Lu-Tze joke about 'is it not written...?' that then references something an old British landlady would say. Thief of Time is definitely my favourite individual novel.

If your favourite was Guards! Guards! then you have a lot of good times ahead of you.

Khizan posted:I never read Shepard's Crown and have no intention of doing so. I think the Aching books ended well enough on I Shall Wear Midnight that I feel no real need to go further. Similarly, I've never read and will never read Raising Steam. Wintersmith is real good though.

Wintersmith is still one of my favourite Discworld books.

"one of" edit: My favourite book in the series is Thief of Time so the inconsistency is still there.  The City Watch are my favourite character set though.

Dammit the bit about Nobby stealing cakes actually got a chuckle out of me.

Woman who says she'll be involved with adaptations, spinoffs and tie-ins co-writes a tie-in, deeply troubling

I'd personally call Thief of Time the best Discworld novel, but Night Watch is a close second.

sebmojo posted:Interesting call, I've never seen that one at the top of any lists. Why do you like it? Death & Co are a great set of characters, Susan is cool, I like the history monks, and there's some weird and interesting mythological/deity concepts.

The City Watch books are fantastic because they are pretty much all standout examples of the genre they're parodying.

Reading spending character sets is better for rereads imo
