Least favourite Discworld book

Hello to you all.
I have to say that over the years my faves have changed with my moods, and for a long time i couldn't "get" the witches. I also had trouble with Carpe Jugulum.
Now though, i dont think there is a book i dislike the least, other than maybe UA, its a bit of a grind, but still enjoyable.
As for a fave, Well i think Night Watch, very dramatic and moving and fantastically written.

I've known very religious people who like Small Gods. One of them used to give sermons based on the book. 
The real message of the book is - by all means believe in a god, because if everyone stops believing then the god ceases to exist. But It also says, that as a human, it's important to think for yourself and decide what is right or wrong for you.

I'm not sure of that.
Brutha appears to me to be a "true believer" who actually follows the spirit of the scripture, rather than Vorbis ( who is an intolerant zealot of the worst sort ) and Om himself, who has little knowledge of, or relation to, the religion founded in his name.
Sgt Simony is a convert who ultimately has little idea of WHY he believes that "the turtle moves" other than kit seems "to work for him"
I'd say it is questionable whether any of them show independent thought, and the throw-away gag at the end about the multiple schisms formed around Brutha's actual words implies that they are ALL wrong
