What was the first DW book you ever read?

Crash

ah, my first book was Guards guards....and what a wonderful trip it began

I first read The Hogfather a couple of years ago and loved it. Now I've started from one onwards - I have read as far as mort. What's next - wyrd sisters or sumfink??? When I get time that will be bought. Never had such a laugh reading before good ould Terry. Anyone ever read Good omens by Pratchett and Neil Gaiman - that was brilliant!

Sarky

Good Omens was my very first Pratchett book, and the very first book I read that actually made my laugh out loud. Ah, the memories...:)

They're both brilliant but there is no comparrison between the two. They are complete opposites (except that they both get the job done).

Is there any books where they both feature heavily?

Be a MAN in the city watch!

The city watch needs MEN!

Class act, especially when Detritus becomes super-intelligent...

Señor Juárez

what was it, he got trapped inside a freezer or somewhere very cold 4 a while?

gawd i gotta reread all of those books...

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

he got trapped in a meat storage warehouse,.. he was patrolling with some dwarf (can't for the lifve of me remember his name) and he has to throw him out of the roof (the dwarf lands in a rat-on-a-stick cart) to go for help..

he writes a load of mathematical equations on the wall, and as it goes on it gets simpler and simpler.. until at the very end there's just an "=" sign.. but he is rescued at that point and we never know what it ='s

Chowley

Cuddy be his name.

Señor Juárez

following this he is made a clockwork fan assisted cooling hat.

ROFL!!!

Sarky

It was the pork futures warehouse, built to store meat stocks that didn't exist yet, yet were being traded in. Gotta love those literal minded Ankh-Morporkians...:D

Picked Wyrd Sisters up in my sister's room years ago. Thought I would die laughing. Unfortunately I didn't, and had to go ahead and sit the Leaving Cert. It helped a lot when we started Macbeth. That was also many moons ago now. People's constant references to their Mammies on this board does make one feel old.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I would have thought simply *being* old would make you feel old

and are you sure it was pork futures?.. i've heard about the er.. temporal wine stuff, and pasta too I think.. but i didn't know there was meat too

Chowley

Ya it was the pork futures alright, I read that book again recently.

Im going through all the wizard books again at the moment.
I gotta say I think Eric was an excellent book.The demons are hilarious , quezovercoatl was brilliant.It's just a pity it was so short.:D

Sarky

Mass human sacrifice to the god of mass human sacrifice! When they were handing out deities, that tribe was out taking a wee...

King of Arrakis

The first DiscWorld book I read was Reaper Man I got it off a friend nearly died laughing! Same with Soul Music + Wyrd Sisters got those in school. I'm now reading Feet of Clay it's quite promising. Any Super Conor posts on this board? He's quite the DiscWorld fan himself!

AL][EN

The first discworld book!! hmmm thats going back!! would probably have been interesting times.

I have to say that even today it makes me laugh quite possibly the best DW book ever written

after interesting times followed the color of magic and the light fantastic - great books
