Least favourite Discworld book

These are actually two of my favourites! :O
Lords and Ladies was one of my first Pratchett novels, and Carpe Jugulum was great because it really used Agnes Nitt as a character, with the Vampire twist.
Its the same case with Lords and Ladies with Magrat Garlick, for some reason I liked the younger witches.
It's a shame I haven't read Maskerade. Agnes turned from a wannabe but interesting side character into a full blown main character in one book which I did not read.

my least favourite out of the ones I've read would have to be Equal Rites. It was the first Granny Weatherwax book and was based on the touching subject of gender inequality, but really was not as funny as the other ones I have read so far. It is also the oldest Terry Pratchett book ive read but not the first.

I don't think I've read enough (5) to have a 'least fave' at present but...
I was sat on the train happily reading Thud not so long ago. When the chap sat opposite me got up to get off at his stop, he leaned over and said "It's a bit rubbish" then walked off, out the door, just like that.
I was fuming! Not even a chance to reply! I did notice him craning his neck to see which TP I was reading but at surely he could have said "thats my least favourite". None of his books are even a little 'bit rubbish', are they? Who made him judge and jury?! Sorry rant over. Just saw thread title and it reminded me!

Spoiler alert from that sod. Its unfair to say that as it can ruin your read. Always best to let someone make up your own mind.
There's also those who label anything fantasy as rubbish and its best to ignore them as well.
Personally i like Thud I won't say which books i least love so you can have the fun of reading them fresh
Lucky sod with so many unread books ahead of you

None of his books are rubbish?
Well, lemme put it like this: There is NO author, actor, composer, in general creator of things out there who did not have one or two failures in his/her portfolio. Don't know which books you read so far, but even discworld has some groan-and-threw-it-into-the-corner-worthy ones *coughsunseenacademicalcough*
The majority makes up for it though...

I see where you're coming from LilMaibe but I still don't really think you can sum up any of his works as 'Rubbish'. It just seems overly flippant. Also, like with sooooo many people, when he said 'It is rubbish' he really should have added a 'imo'. (Or even an imho, haha). Sorry, it just gets my goat when people jump to be overly critical purely to try and make themselves sound 'old hand'.
