    The Soul Music series was really rather good.

    Christopher Lee as death? Oh, yes.

    So I picked up The Colour of Magic. It's pretty terrible. I mean it's barely an adequate fantasy story.
    The part where they appear on an airplane? Dumb as hell.

    And I thought these were supposed to be funny. Well if it is, then I guess I don't get it.

    Rincewind is a pretty crappy character.

    No I'm not. It's kinda bad.

    Maybe there are other good ones. This isn't that fantastic.

    What? no, Vimes all the way. With the rest of the Night Watch a close second, and then Death a close third.

    Man, I would have totally bought some Death Novels.


    But my Borders only had them out of order, so I couldn't start with the beginning.


    So I bought a bunch of Night Watch books instead.

    To be fair to Ubik, the early Discworld stuff isn't all that great. If you jump in around the Mort/Reaper Man books then it should be all good though.

    Yeah, I didn't enjoy The Colour of Magic a whole lot, but the other ones?

    Fucking prime reading, right there.

    Right now I've got a major hardon for Captain Richard Sharpe, and Sergeant Patrick Harper, in other news.

    It's pretty awful, and a terrible place to start with Discworld. Only hard-core fans should subject themselves to that thing.

    Honestly, the first good Discworld book is Pyramids.

    I think pratchet has a soft spot for vimes now too, his more recent awesome books are all vimes-related.

    I can't bear the witch novels (although sourcery was cool).

    I didn't like Colour of Magic that much.

    But I love every bit of the Watch series.

    I'm not condemning the whole universe. It seems pretty interesting.

    I'm willing to pick up a Death or Watch book and give it another shot. They're like $6, I can afford to risk it.

    Yeah that seems pretty helpful. So I think I'm aiming for either Mort or Guards! Guards! since I like going in order.
