After reading Unseen Academicals, I'd forgotten how much I like Ponder Stibbons. :D

I love 'em all.

I too only came to Discworld in the last year or two. I was reading 3 books a week. Superfurryandy was most jealous, and wished he was just discovering them too!

Hi

It's always been and always will be Granny Weatherwax for me.

Others that stand out:

CMOT Dibbler - in whatever guise or distant family relative he appeared
Gaspode - er Woof?
Corporal Nobbs - cos he kicks people inna fork.
Archchancellor Ridcully - its them early morning brisk runs and his need to shoot anything that flies, flaps, runs or skitters past him
Bill Door - Skinny bloke with an odd smile :)
Reg Shoe - only because he reminds me of someone I know quite well!

Theres so many memorable characters - I've always enjoyed them much more than the plot!
