4. Hm, I'm not sure I've read Wyrd Sisters. My Pratchett reading has been very irregular--I just started reading them, no pattern to it. But I love Pratchett's many literary references--doubtless some have gone over my head, but... huh, I think the dagger/handkerchief exchange sounds familiar! Maybe I have read that one! (I just finished reading Making Money yesterday.)

5. I LOVE DIRK GENTLY! Which one had the Norse gods, because that one was my favorite. It may be time for a re-read, since I don't remember.
6. I have never heard of Bad Magic or this author. Interesting.
7. I really like the Dark Materials series for the world-building and the characters... but I'll admit it, the end of the third book made me want to throw it against the wall.

Yay, thank you! I love talking about books!

I think my favorite Pratchett novel is probably... well, any of them with Sam Vimes. I'm not sure why I have this extra love for him, but I do. I also like his YA novels with Tiffany Aching. And Death! And Miss Susan... Heh.

Have you read the novel he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman? Good Omens. It involved the end of the world, among other things... Gaiman doesn't do much for me, but I liked this book.
