    Discworld Poll 1: Top 10 favourite Josh Kirby covers.

    ...the SF Book Club releases have always had their own cover artists (some very good). There was an oddball paperback release of The Colour of Magic that had a completely different cover, showing the dragon vanishing from under a realistically drawn Rincewind and Twoflower. I think it was...

    Original UK version of Colour of Magic had artwork by Alan Smith . Hard to come by these days though - Fairly comprehensive list of additions and artwork for UK and other editions is saved here - http://www.colinsmythe.co.uk/discworldpages/dwindex.htm

    Any Questions?

    Hello all. I have started reading Discworld series, and so far I have read two books(The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic). The reason I am here, is I don't have an idea where to continue with the reading. I looked for some reading order tutorials, but would appreciate advice from...

    So, you've discovered Discworld...

    ...Discworld book? 2. Which was your first Discworld book? 3. Will you read more? 4. Which one do you intend to read next? 5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary? Mx

    SPOILERS Raising Steam *Warning Spoilers*

    ...seemed like to me. Raising Steam did what every other discworld novel did for me, it made me laugh out loud more than once. From The Colour of Magic to this, Sir Terry has never once failed me in that respect. He has made my life better, and sometimes even bearable, and if he scratched the...

    Raising Steam Train - Where is the stoker and firebox?

    I've been writing Raising Steam fanfiction about Vimes and Vetinari. On fanfiction.net I've only posted three out of the seventeen-ish chapters I've plugged away at over Christmas. I've got some problems though - I'm definitely not an engineering personality; I find blueprints boring, engines...

    Truckers

    Thanks, Guys. My friend also liked watching the DVD's of The Hogfather, Going Postal, the cartoon DVD's of Soul Music, Wyrd Sisters & The Colour Of Magic DVD. :D But for some reason Truckers really grabbed her.

    Pratchett's Countries

    ...Sorcery' series. The books were about two heroes, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser whose DW 'alter egos' were also met on the road in the 'Colour of Magic' as Rincewind and Twoflower were fleeing Ankh-Morpork. It was Sir Terry's lampooning and treatment of my favourite fantasy books that got me...

    SPOILERS The Colour of Magic Discussion *Spoilers*

    Just thought I'd let Kindle users out there know that The Colour of Magic is now £1.99 on Amazon.co.uk :) I originally bought when it was up at £5.22, perhaps I should have waited until now...

    ...the pilot and the first series. It is being aimed for airing after the watershed here (post 9:00pm) and, unlike the productions of Colour of Magic, Hogfather, and Going Postal, will be aimed at an adult audience. (It sounds like quite a bit of Going Postal, for instance, ended up on the...

    SPOILERS The Colour of Magic Discussion *Spoilers*

    ...if this is inappropriate (be grateful for any redirection to a more appropriate area). I've just got hold of a first edition copy of Colour of Magic. It's definitely an original 1983 Colin Smythe UK (not US) first edition with the cover by Alan Smith and has the original dust jacket in good...

    Amazon Kindle

    I am completely new to ebook information. I have been reading Terry Pratchett since "The Colour of Magic" first came out. I would like my nephew to read more of Sir Pratchett and I think ebooks would be the best way. My nephew is not very careful with books and I am loath to lone him mine...

    So, you've discovered Discworld...

    ...Terry Pratchett's in our school library. My older brother had recommended him to me. 2. What was your first Discworld book? The Colour of Magic, it cracked me up as a ten year old and the randomness was so delightful and refreshing. 3. Will you read more? Of course, I mean to collect...

    Excellent idea! Especially since "The Light Fantastic" follows on directly from the first book, with Rincewind.

    ...read next? Feet of Clay (going through a Watch obsession now), and then probably The Last Continent. 5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary? Fairly easy. Going Postal didn’t...

    If you look for authors who resemble TP without copying him try Jasper Fforde (yes, with two "F" at the beginning of his family name). He has four series of books; here is how they are being described by him on his website: 1: The Thursday Next series. Thursday Next is a detective who works for...
