there are a few of fave moments.
the bit in feet of clay where Fred bounces off the cow, onto the sheep and then onto the chicken which went mad. and in the same book when he meets up with Mister Vimes and he ducks into a doorway and then promptly ducks straight back out again.
and feet of clay again, when Mister Vimes was chasing the golem when he slips over, stands up, slips over again, stands up again and then falls down for the thrid time and decides to accept the majority vote and stay down
lords and ladies when the faculty (or part of it) meet Casaunder for the first time.
been an australian i really enjoyed pretty much every bit of the last continent that had to do with rincewind (TP really nailed the attitude of 'no worries')
and as mentioned above, where do you stop

Impossible to post on this thread... if I tried to look up a quote I would read the book again..... it happens.

why thankee Pooh. mind you pryamids isn't my fave book, but as a mostly stand alone book it's hilarious. I'm a huge fan of the city watch books, in particular sam vimes....however I believe that discussion is in another thread somewhere in this vast L-Space

I can only quote a few from some,as I havent read all of them yet-shame on me,I know-but I have only started a few years ago and I cant go out in cold blood and just buy the lot...I have to wait till the local library gets them in English.Plus,I wouldnt know where to stop,as lots of people before me have mentioned.
So...
A scene in one of the Vimes Books where Detritus says "Captain Carrot said there´s some Good buried in everybody" and Vimes asks if he´s doing the drill and Detritus says no,he´s the deep mining expert.
(Know the feeling.)
The scene in the Fifth Continent where Death asks for information on the dangerous creatures in Fourecks.
The scene where Susan is teacher and has this trying scholar who desperately wants to break into the cupboard and she tells him under which circumstances he is not allowed to open said cupboard.
(Boy,been there,bought the ticket.Several times.Just with different names and different cupboards)
Same book,where she explains that kids can do algebra if you dont tell them beforehand that they can´t.(My kids go to Montessori school and it really works.Had I not read TP,I wouldnt have known.See?)

I like the end part of Feet of Clay, where Vimes & Dorfl are confronted by the priests . . . so well written you can almost hear the characters voices in your mind as you read
. . . Vimes had a feeling about the immediate future and took a few steps away from Dorfl.
'But the gods plainly do exist,' said a priest.
'It Is Not Evident.'
A bolt of lightning lanced through the clouds and hit Dorfl's helmet. There was a sheet of flame
and then a trickling noise. Dorfl's molten armour formed puddles around his white-hot feet.
'I Don't Call That Much Of An Argument,' said Dorfl calmly, from somewhere in the clouds of
smoke.
'It's tended to carry the audience,' said Vimes. 'Up until now.'
The Chief Priest of Blind lo turned to the other priests. 'All right, you fellows, there's no need for
any of that—'
'But Offler is a vengeful god,' said a priest at the back of the crowd.
'Trigger-happy is what he is,' said Ridcully..."

Andy, I like that scene too but I think I like even better the bit that either comes before it or after it when one priest suggests that Dorfl be ground to atoms to see whether he has a soul or not, and Dorfl agrees to this--provided they do the same thing to one of the priests. After all, fair is fair!

I like all the scenes between angua and carrot.
The one in carrots bedroom when gaspode says Kiss her!!. wow
and when Carrot call sargent Colon while was grabbing her arm to explain her who were the women in list (widows and orphans) She was so embarrased!
In fith elefant after get buried Gavin. she ask him to kill her if she becomes evil. and after that when the wolves try to kill Angua and Carrot saves her. Just like Gavin did!!
