Some are fantastic, Mort, Reaper Man, Jingo, Going Postal, Making Money, etc are examples of this
Then you have Small Gods, Colour Of Magic, Pyramids, etc.

It's not that I'm not enjoying them
it's more that thus far, the degree of fuss is a long way shy of justifiable

I quite like them
I devoured the first 10 or 12 when as they came out. Up to about The Hogfather, i think. That wasn't very good.

Then I read a couple more and thought they were basically all the same and didn't read one from the first vampire one (Carpe Diem?) until I picked up Going Postal a couple of years ago. Now I quite like them again. Although the recent football one wasn't very good.

All of the recent ones after Nightwatch
which is one of his best, in my opinion, are fairly pants. The early stuff is much better.

Nightwatch was the last one I read, absolutely excellent

I can't really remember which one is which anymore.
So I'll take your word for that.

Am determined to read them in something approximating the right order
this was reinforced by picking up Mort before Equal Rites, and reading about Granny Weatherwax's death before the book in which she is the first supporting character.

It's as if his head wasn't really in it after that one

I think he forgot how to plot a book.

I'm going to refer you back to The Colour of Magic here
That book has less plot than a bankrupt farmer

I was just making a bad joke

Yes, I know that
You were also crediting him with knowledge of plot in the first place!

Did I really just type that?
I fucking hate people that say 'touche'. Pretentious aresholes.

Am trying to think of something massively pretentious to say by way of reply
and failing. Curse my Northern roots.

Better get some more dye

Pretentious, moi?
