"Discoworld Novels are for natty waistcoat wearers?"

What is the appeal that Pratchett holds, heh? He has the sort of humour that only people, who drink real ales and wear "comedy" waistcoats to demonstrate that they are indeed a character (John Virgo you should be ashamed, and also shot), find amusing. I've read several of his books (Colour of magic was one if i remember rightly) because I had to find out what the fuss was about, so no one can accuse me of not giving them a go, and they were as lame as a paralysed snake.

Oook not funny, luggage not funny, Rincewind not funny, Pratchett not funny.

And he has a beard.

I like reading his books.
Of course not everyone is going to like them, but to stereo type those who do isn't that clever.
As the saying goes 'each to his own'

Seriously though dude, calm down. TIM-MAY that is.

it means your a sad fool that like reading crappy terry prachett

So you read 10 whole pages? And you're basing you opinion of a series of over 25 books on those 10?

Do any of you actually like fantasy novels? If you were simply looking for comedy then read a book by a comedian or something.

Terry Pratchett's books are primarily fantasy with a comic twist. He has sold over 17 million books, and his work has been translated into 27 languages

And if you don't like it - read something else!

ppppp

uh nneds reding

I read 10 pages of a Pratchett novel once.

That was enough.

Oh, and I don't don't drink real ale or wear waistcoats of any description.

Have you read any of the ones featuring the City Watch ...
