Hi to both Dazman & Trish

Well I don't think I could possibly pick 5 favourites. But I do prefer the Watch & Witch books. I'm also partial to Small Gods.

You might as well ask me for my favourite Thornton's chocolate :lol:

I've only just begun enyoing this wonderful novels, so I don't know which are the best ones. I have only read Equal Rites, and I've just started with Lords And Ladies.
Could you tell me which ones should I read next???

Hi Juan José and welcome to the site.

Actually, I'd have suggested that you read Witches Abroad before Lords and Ladies (although it isn't essential) and L&L sort of continues where Witches Abroad left off.

Equal Rites was Terry's third Discworld book and the first with Granny Weatherwax - she is somewhat different in the later books.

You might want to check out Guards! Guards! as this is the first book in the City Watch series and is a great introduction to the city of Ankh-Morpork as well as the City Watch and the great Sam Vimes. :wink:

I kind of envy you that you have so many great books still to read.

In my opinion you should read Guards Guards as it's where you meet the watchfor the first time XX

Ohhh, thanks for the advise...In my country, it's hard to find the TP book you are looking for, and yesterday I was in the movies, watching Monsters vs Aliens in 3D, it was nice...And it was there, in a bookstore: "Feet of Clay"...so I bought it. And I will finish it very soon.
Thanks Tonyblack, I'll try to find that book, "Witches Abroad".
