I'm very fond of the witches, as well - and of the Ankh Morpork City Watch. It's hard to choose just one book, but I'd say I like Night Watch best. Sam Vimes is my favourite Discworld character, and with him not just being in danger of, well, dying, as is the hero's wont, but of being wiped out of history and having most of his existence simply negated everything seemed much more personal than the usual Discworld-related disasters.
Add to that that I'm a sucker for time travel stories anyway, and this was simply the best kind of grim fun.
Santa's Hogfather's probably gonna bring me Thud! some sausages and black puddings for Christmas Hogswatch. Looking forward to it.

He already has in many books. Sam Vimes has met rincewind, Granny Weatherwax has been to ankh-morpork and met several of the wizards, Sam also guested in a crucial role in Monstrous Regement, Colon and Nobby have shown up in Hogfather...he lets them bleed over a little, but his stories know where their centers are.

yeah I know that but what I meant was would he ever do a story involving the Witches, The Watch, The wizards etc - maybe as a sort of Crisis event (bad analogy I know). I know Id buy it.

Well saw the second part and its a blast. the wizards really come into their own. Ponder and hex are good. Death is well…”death” and Susan saves the day.
Oh and Nobby Nobbs is in it as well

Saw it yesterday and it was Great - though I wish they'd CGI'd DEATH so that his mouth moved somewhat. Albert was great. "Meet the inner-babysitter!" MORE PRATCHETT MOVIES NOW!

Favorite Discworld book... hmmm... Im fond of all of them but I have to agree with the Vimes series as my MOST favorite. HOWEVER, my favorite books in the discworld are always the ones that are stand alones. maybe Pyramids or Moving Pictures.
My favorite all time character has to be Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler. Everytime he shows up in ANY Disc book i laugh and laugh and laugh.

I haven't seen him much lately. In general I like the Death books best, and anything with the Patrician. Pyramids and Moving Pictures are way up on my list, though.
