Curious if there are other fans of the Discworld on this board?

Or to put it another way, Ook?

I'm just about finished Good Omens but since he wrote it with Gaiman, I'm not sure how much it resembles his other writings.

Is Discworld good? Would you recommend it? Could you give us a short not too spoilery description of it?

Up there with Adams as my favorite humor writer ever, and definitely tops when you consider how prolific he was.

I'd be hard pressed to choose a favorite by him though, so much awesome to choose from.

I started reading Discworld late last year and love it although I don't really care for the books involving Granny Weatherwax and the witches. They aren't bad just not my cup of tea.

Some of the only times I have ever laughed out loud while reading have been during this series.

Being a Gaiman fan and loving Good Omens, I decided to check him out recently.

The only books I have read so far are Small Gods, which was one of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time, and The Hogfather.

The humor and social and religious commentary are top notch. I think I will be a lifelong Discworld fan. Reading Guards! Guards! next
