i've not bought one

for about 8 years, or if i have i've used christmas money so it doesn't count. just the peripheral books (mapps etc)first one i got was eric, then my parents bought me the death trilogy (I blame them for the poster of the grim reaper on my wall, and my one time desire to have Death on one shoulder blade and DoR on the other (with Death of fleas in his paw) and the Death keyring i have which nearly got taken off me when flying to Dublin (i now leave my keys in my hold luggage if i need to fly with them) but they did buy me the keyring) i got the witches trilogy out from the library once, and was determined that i would get the same volume rather than three individual books, unfortunately it was out of print so took me two/three years to get. when i got the aforementioned freebies I was only missing Guards Guards, which i think was also out of print as the only liverpool bookstore with a copy at that time was blackwells (and i think the watch trilogy was first published quite soon after) have two copies of the truth because my mum was too lazy to see if i already had the hardback, and my brother had already told her he was getting me thief of time (waited for paperback of that one for some reason)
everything since night watch i've got hardback. including my signed Thud! :D (present off my best mate who loves the books as much as me

my sis buys them for me

everyone in the family knows i go positively rabid when a new one comes out. Thud! is awesome, but i still prefer Night Watch.
bugger, i'm going to have to re-read it now!

aye

monstrous regiment is a weird one for me, really enjoy it whilst i'm reading it, but it's not a classic.
think this new one should be good, but i'm more interested in next year's

i love monstrous regiment

but i know what you mean, it's a bit of a detour from his usual style. nation looks good, despite not being set on discworld.
