matty Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Has been a long time since I read the 'original' discworld trio, but the character Rincewind has travelled with me for many years. - Of course lets not forget the 'painting troll/elf' inside the camera - + no-one has yet mentioned 'luggage'! IMHO the longest enduring character has to be DEATH - he seems to appear in all of the novels without fail - my first introduction to a character in CAPITALS - suppose a meeting would be terminal Hope TP & his wonderful mind can still introduce us to his next generation of comedy. Thankyou TP for the fun you have given us!
rallybug Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Too many to mention - Vetinari, Vimes, Carrot. Literally just this last 10 minutes finished reading Making Money again - Moist von Lipwig is getting to be a favourite too. Two links to possible future books in there too.
Whimsy Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Doesn't anyone spare a thought for Jack Woolley? Did Mike Baldwin die in vain?
Miss Take Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I read Good Omens first - can't remember what made me pick it up in the first place, but glad I did. I like Shadwell and his tins of condensed milk. Also Nanny Ogg, who knows how to start writing 'banana' but doesn't know how to stop. Honourable mention to Greebo, especially when he was magicked into human form. But like a lot of people, DEATH is my favourite.
oogie boogie Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 it was funny as f00k watching mike baldwin wander round manchester like a lost puppy. But he was ficticious and a cocky red faced womanizing numpty
Junior Manannan Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Thats really sad stuff. Vetinari is the man for me.

Bombay Bad Boy Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 - Of course lets not forget the 'painting troll/elf' inside the camera It does tend to come out pixie-lated
Junior Manannan Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Wonder wot his new book is going to be called, Colour of Magic maybe?
pimpoapo Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Wonder wot his new book is going to be called, Colour of Magic maybe? The new movie is called The colour of magic...
NelliePea Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Mister Teatime, the assassin! Although I love all his books i'm really taken with A Hat full of Sky and The Wee Free Men It's the witch in me!
Junior Manannan Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Teh-ah-tim-eh apparently. SOOOOOOOOOSANN??
Chinahand Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Sad News indeed: Terry Pratchett has died.
manxman1980 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Very sad to hear the news that Terry has passed away. It was his books that first got me reading "proper books" rather than just comics and they still have pride of place on my bookshelf at home. I always thought he was incredibly dignified in his battle with Alzheimers and was very moved by his views on assisted suicide. I will, however, always carry all those wonderful characters with me for the rest of my life. The Terry Pratchett twitter feet announced his death with the following tweets; "AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER" "Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night" "The End"
