Well we're on Witches - how about a Watch, Death or a Wizard one? Or one of the 'stand alones'? Haven't read Pyramids for a good while

Eric would actually fit a couple of those spots :twisted:

 

[swreader]

I think that a Watch one is called for-- and Tina, I think Guards! Guards! is just the one. After all--that's where we meet almost all of the most important characters of the Watch & Lady Sybil for the first time. That gets my vote.

(Besides, probably my two least favorite books are Pyramids and Eric--don't know which I dislike most).

Another vote here for GG - I see it as the start of somethıng special

 

[mspanners]

Guards! Guards! as it is the first of what I comsider is the best series of Discworld books.. the Watch books....

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

I can "hear" Vimes spine crunch after he picks Lady Sybil up and begins to run with her.

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

\o/ Guards! Guards! my vote...

 

[poohbcarrot]

IMO the star of Guards Guards is Carrot. His naivety is hilarious and without him, Vimes would still be a drunken bum in the gutter, and the Watch, a joke.

 

[mspanners]

Yes ...lots of people introduced to us, the book establishes a number things which are built on in the later books, Sam and Sybil, Carrots character and Royal blood line for examples. 8)

And it is a cracking good book with intrigue and comedy from the first page to the last.

If I ever recommend a Discworld book to a New comer it would be this one.

GG - OK with me

The beginning with the passwords is one of my favourite Discworld bits in all the books.

 

[Tonyblack]

Woah there guys!

Let's hold the discussion for the actual discussion!

I've got no problem with using G!G! as the next discussion book, but the discussion will start on the first Monday (6th) of July.

That gives you all a couple of weeks to read or reread Guards! Guards!

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

[Tonyblack]

Is this coincidence or kismet or something else? I hadn't seen this thread until a few moments ago. I finished re-reading Guards! Guards! about an hour and a half ago...
