Wash ,'Objects In Space'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
As much as the Vimes-Vetinari show gives me great joy and satisfaction, isn't it about time for another Death or Granny Weatherwax story?
Oh, yes. Even though Granny does show up in "A Hat Full of Sky," it's not enough. Actually, I'd love to see what happened if Granny and Vimes ever met each other.
One long hard stare and an unspoken mutual nonaggression pact, with a backup of "But don't try anything."
Heck, Lady Sylvia and Nanny Ogg, with Nanny Ogg cooing over Baby Vimes.
Nanny Ogg and Vetinari! Because Vetinari and Granny Weatherwax would just stare at each other, raise eyebrows at each other, then go their separate ways.
I've never read any Pratchett where is a good place to start?

hmmm, "Carpe Jugulam"? "Men at Arms"? The first one features Granny Weatherwax and the various witches of the mountain country, and the second one is a good intro to Captain of the City Watch Vimes and the wide-open city of Ankh-Morpork.
Oh, God, Nanny Ogg trying to seduce Vetinari on general principle.
Carpe Jugulum benefits from having the backstory of Maskerade and at least one of the other Lancre books, I think. Men At Arms stands alone fairly well, though.
Me, I started with Small Gods, which is like this little untouched island in the middle of the Discworld story.
I think Monstrous Regiment stands pretty well solo, too.
Oh yes, that's true. And maybe Pyramids, Pyramids?
Or Cohen. That guy slays me.
If you're not careful.
Emily, that's the one I started with, too. Oh, so many years ago. And I now own every one of them, including The Last Hero. And am going to place my order for Thud! on Friday, when I have money.
