I'm in the midst of a year-long re-read (in celebration of finally getting the last book I was missing, Witches Abroad), so everything up to Carpe Jugulum is very fresh in my mind at this point.

I'd have to put a vote in for Interesting Times. It was a Rincewind story, which would typically make it one of my favorites...and it was drenched in Eastern Philosophies...which is another Happy Flag of mine...but I think re-reading it, I was just expecting more from it.

The story dragged, the ending was suspect (and one of the very few which was so obviously just a warm-up for a sequel), and overall it just left me a little flat this time. It could have been half as long and I would have been more at peace with it.

On the other hand, reading Jingo for the second time made it one of my favorites, especially given what's going on these days. And knowing a lot of people from Austrailia made The Last Continent an absolute blast this time around.

My two pence. Back to my Meat Pie Floater...

The problem with the Last Continent is that you need to know all about Australian idiocyncracies to really understand what is happening.

My least favourite at the moment is Small Gods - although I still chuckle though it

there arn't realy any that I don't enjoy re reading but "monsterus regiment" is the one I have read least

They are all my favorite, but sometimes when I MUST read a certain book, well,then... Judging from the spines of the books, I've read Sourcery, Eric &The Light Fantastic less than the others, buit for the past month I was looking for "the book with the Hat", thinking it might be Reaper Man, but it turns out it was Sourcery, and that it was Very Important that I read it.
But least favorite? Nope, they are all my favorite. Tho I tend towards Granny & Vimes for Comfort & Solace...

no worries

You have to know about Australia & Australians to get the real depth of the story. I just about wet myself reading some of it

Interestingly enough, it is the earlier books that I love the most and the newer books that I have trouble digesting. Ever since Lost Continent, I have had trouble just getting through the books once.
I couldn't get through the Fifth Elephant....mebbe I will try again.
I've got to find something to occupy my mind until the final Harry Potter book comes out

>>>I didn't care for <i>Small Gods</i>, either -- Brutha irritated me slightly

There comes a point where you just want to kick Brutha for being such a wishy washy washpot.

I'm going to have to agree with this one. I didn't hate it but I kept waiting for it to get good...... it didn't.

Nay.

I like the characters, and I like the way that despite how it's a non-series book, we see some series characters in it.

And compared to Eric, it just absolutely sparkles.

nay.
but the reasons for liking or not liking a particular novel are as individual as the novels themselves. I did think it was interesting that, when I saw PTerry on his speaking tour around MR, he mentioned he loved it, but really felt that Night Watch was bettter. I believe his exact words were that he felt "the ducks just sort of all lined up" for NW better than they did for MR.
Make of this what you will (and consider the source).

Monstrous Regiment is one of my favorite of the books. Though I am a sucker for Vimes the Butcher.
