Terry Pratchett is an awesome Young Adult Fiction writer.

Re: discworld

just the concept of a flat world, perched on the backs of 4 huge elephants standing on a 16000km long space turtle is excellent...

Re: discworld

i'ver read the vast majority of the series

heck, i even take my gaming name from it

favourite character is a hard one

death is a good character, but he is no match for Lu Tze (see rules on fighting old men armed with a broom)

Re: discworld

Pratchett is a genius! The earlier ones are the best. Colour of Magic & Light Fantastic were cool as Sky1 shows too. Rincewind / Twoflower/ Cohen & Librarian for the win!

My boyfriend likes the Death of Rats & Quoth the Raven "Are those eyeballs - No they's olives - Ha well they're mine now" LMAO pure genius.
