Huge Pratchett fan here. Played the pc-games in the 90's (think I maybe played them on my Amiga..? Not shure), but did not actualley got into his books before 5 - 6 years ago. Favortite books must be Good Omens, Night Watch, and Going Postal. My favorite Pratchett-moment must be when I'd been on a Iron Maiden concert i Bergen, Norway. A friend an meself bought a copy of Unseen Academicals each before flying back to Oslo, sitting there laughing for ourself, with a lot of other Maiden fans probably thinking "wtf???" :-D Favortite caracters must be Death, Moist Von Lipwig and The Librarian.

 There were PC games? That's news to me. I've only read "The Wee Free Men" by Pratchett when I was little. It wasn't bad. I don't actually know why I never picked up more stuff written by him.

Huge fan of point and click myself, but my favorites was Day of the Tentacle and Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis, but in the mid 90's there was so many good point and click games that it's close to unfair to list just some... Remeber playing Mokey Island on my Amiga, think it was close to 10 disc's, swapped disk each other minute.... With a lot of the classics getting remade for iStuff and Android now, we can just hope for a remake of the Discword stuff too :-)

Love Terry Pratchetts books - my fave is Mort. He was my lead in to Neil Gaiman, reading Good Omens lead me to Sandman and other Neil Gaiman works

I have what is approaching a full collection of Pratchett, which sits there on top of my bookshelf making me happy, but sadly I haven't got much time to read them any more. My favourite is Thief of Time, and that's partly because Susan is one of my favourite characters - in this one you get to see Susan using all her supernatural qualities without (unlike, for example, Hogfather) much interference from her grandfather. So you get to see a lot more of what she's capable of.

I was introduced to Terrys books by my brother when I was young. The first book I read was Wyrd Sisters after that I read every one I could get my hands on. I actually went to the Clarecraft Discworld event in suffolk in 2003. The theme was 'Pyramids' I met Terry and Stephen Briggs who signed my books and my discworld map. Terry and I had a conversation about cats (he had not long written The Unadulterated Cat) it was brilliant and I feel vedry lucky to have met such a great author :) I do think though that his earlier Discworld books are much better and havent bothered with any of his recent ones. Reaper Man will always be my fave book because Death is just brilliant :)

Favourite book is Making Money, mainly because of the image of Mr Fusspot with an 'intimate item' in his mouth causing him to backflip every so often. Funny things you remember. ^_^ Fave characture is Nanny Ogg cause she's a family minded mafia-like warlord with an evil cat.
