Least favourite Discworld book

[poohcarrot]

I think there are worse books than COM and LF. Monstrous Regiment for one, Making Money for two.

Monsterous Regiment is brilliant! Lt Blouse makes the whole story amazing!

All I remember from Monstrous Regient was that it seemed a one-gag book, and an old and tired gag at that.

Try it again. I didn't like it the first time but it grew on me with rereading especially after a bit of research into women dressed as men fighting in armies around the world. A lot of it is based on fact

I completely agree - I thought Terry had lost his mind when I first read it, but it's one of my favourites now. Terry did a huge amount of research on the subject. The radio show that Sjoerd posted has him discussing MR.

I think Monstrous Regiment is one of the best recent books. Doesn't compare to the classics perhaps, but I'd take it over the Moist books, Unseen Academicals or the recent Vimes offerings any day.

Enjoyed Monstrous Regiment but it doesn't compare to Night Watch at all.
I'll agree that Thud isn't everyones cup of tea but Night Watch is Pratchett at his best.

I respectfully disagree. I just didn't care for Night Watch at all.

I cared for a small number of pages in Nightwatch: the ones with the wizards

We'll agree to disagree.
Generally prefer the watch to wizards but hey

Night Watch isn't in my top 10.

 

[pip]

But you like Pyramids

 

[poohcarrot]

...and I like TOT, GG, Jingo, Hogfather, Soul Music, MAA, Maurice, FOC, GP, WFM, SG, Pyramids (of course), IT, WA, Truth, more than Night Watch. 8)

You're very organised Pooh

I just picked up a copy of UA and looked at the previously published books.
