I'm lucky enough to have all of the Discworld series up to and including Monstrous Regiment. I even have a book stamp from Clarecraft of the Librarian. I LOVE THESE BOOKS! I'm also lucky enough to have a friend from England that's a fan and can explain some of the "you gotta be from there" jokes.
Love his work. in fact, he's partially the reason I was inspired to break so many conventions when it comes to world design. odd story: I actually saw a high-res "map" of discworld years before I actually managed to read the books. I'm currently on Wyrd Sisters, and I'm trying to read them in order (even though i know you don't have to), but the bookstore is making that difficult by always missing the ocasional one. I had to skip and go back to the Light Fantastic, and now I have to wait for Pyramids. Favorite character? Rincewind. No contest. Favortie book (so far)? Mort. doesn't have Rincewind, but it was the most fun one so far to read. Can't wait 'till I get to Soul Music.
As much as I like his earlier funny stories the later Vimes books, especially Night Watch and Thud! are my favorite. So gritty and so deep... Of cource closely followed by the Granny Weatherwax stories.

One of the things I long held to that he put into words so simply has been a key part of my homebrew and all my games ever since: "People are people, no matter what they are."
I have just finished the Bromeliad. I especially liked the first story, truckers. It is a nice parody on religion and shopping.
Read it, then you will see what I mean.

Got it (and Where's My Cow?) for my nephew. Ok, so he's only 1 at the moment. It's never too early to introduce children to quality entertainment material that will warp their thinking appropriately.
It's much easier to make a list of bad Pratchett books than it is to make a list of the great Pratchett books. In fact, I've went ahead and cataloged all of his bad books. List Below.

Yup. I've read at least 45 of his books, and I've enjoyed every single one of them. Twice.
I LIKE DEATH THE BEST. HIM AND THE FIVE RIDERS OF THE APOCOLYPSE
