| Which is your favorite trilogy of Discworld? If you do not know, there are trilogies of TP's works out there, each with a character or group of characters as the main focal point. For instance, the City Watch trilogy focuses on the City Watch (big surprise there...) Anyway, what trilogy do you think is the best? City Watch (Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, Feet of Clay)? Gods (Small Gods, Pyramids, Hogfather)? Rincewind (Sourcery, Eric, Interesting Times)? Death (not sure which titles these are...)? Witches (ditto)? My favorite trilogy has to be the City Watch. Even though Im not that keen on Guards! Guards! |

| Re: Which is your favorite trilogy of Discworld? Yeah, City Watch. The only one I own in fact. I've read all the Watch books, but only some of the others, mostly Death and the stand alones, but also quite a few of the Rincewind books. None of the witch ones, I don't think. |

| Re: Which is your favorite trilogy of Discworld? I am probably alone in enjoying the Rincewind books the most (not that you can really call them a Trilogy) I enjoyed the one off's as well of course - Pyramids & Small Gods But hey, they're all really good (although I wasn't as enamoured with Thief of Time as I would have liked to have been) |

| Re: Which is your favorite trilogy of Discworld? I think it's weird that they still sell "The Watch Trilogy" or "The Witches Trilogy" or "The Death Trilogy"... cos none of them are trilogies. Fave is the city watch... then the witches. The others are good too though. @rogerrabbit - I didn't like Going Postal really (or Interesting Times - gah, bloody Rincewind)... I thought it was too much like The Truth really. Better than the appalling (for Pratchett) Monstrous Regiment though. |

| Re: Which is your favorite trilogy of Discworld? I love the city watch, but it's any book with Death in it that makes me laugh. They all seem to have slightly different types of humour I think.. the wizards (having a slightly Faulty Towers quality maybe!) I cannot get into at all - but then that makes Pratchett a clever writer for being able to deliver something for everyone. So yes, Death wins for me. Especially Soul Music and Thief of Time. |

| Re: Which is your favorite trilogy of Discworld? The witches are great, and the watch of course. However, nothing can beat the lovely descriptions of different shades of black and deaths dry humor in the DEATH TRIOLOGY :P (maybe I'm also a bit influenced 'cause that was the first discworld work I possessed.... ) |

| Re: Which is your favorite trilogy of Discworld? Without a doubt, the Rincewind series. Which runs, I reckon, like this: Colour of magic Light fantastic Sourcery Eric Interesting Times Last Continent And he pops up again in the Science of Discworld too. Sorry, thats not really a trilogy, is it? Thing is, I read the stories in that order and now I think of Discworld through Rincewinds eyes. |
