  • Death :) He gets all the most clever quips and lines and, of course, he is in every book since once can never escape death. I've been meaning to read his carpet people books...ever read those?

    • Have I read them? Ho ho. They're okay, but not great. His non-Discworld books didn't do as much for me as the Discworld ones. The exception was the Johnny pair of young adult books--I can see myself giving them to William in a few years.

      Death is easy. Vetinari is my second-favourite character :-)

      • I haven't read them which is why I asked :) I've heard mixed reviews and they're a bit of a challenge to find in the states. You might also consider the 'amazing maurice' as well as 'the last hero' book for William too as the illustrations are impressive. :)

        • William and I read "The Last Hero" around Christmas time, and we're reading "The Amazing Maurice" now. Was it just me, or was "The Last Hero" not well edited? I found a lot of cases of repeated words that made it really clumsy to read out loud. William's a bit too young for the complexity of "The Amazing Maurice", but I'm reading it to him anyway just to get him used to complex stories and sentences. He could take "The Last Hero" more easily because that book had lots of pictures :-)
