I'm chasing all her books. Your blog hust gave me an idea, am going to buy all her books. I googled her yesterday and found out she'd stopped writing. Am devastated. But am glad there's a number I haven't read. Terry is hilarious, try him out. God, am crazy about Anne Rice, Terry too but Anne more. I’m chasing all her books.

Only thing that I'd say is if you start with the Colour of Magic (the first book in the series), don't give up if you find it hard going. It's my least favourite Discworld book, and it's in a different style to the rest (I think it's taking the mick out of Roleplayers or something; the humour isn't the same as it is in the rest of the books). In fact, I'd recommend not starting with that one, but starting with "The Light Fantastic" instead. Many's the time that I've sat sniggering on the train due to his books, despite knowing how annoying it is! Can't help it though!

You gotta give Pratchett a go - you dont need previous Discworld experience - I'll admit it adds to the richness but each book sits on its own quite happily. Have to admit I did not enjoy the first books much but Moving Pictures - a take on early Hollywood and Hogfather- where 'Death' plays Father Christmas, both stand out for me. ...Tim Tim…
