Least favourite Discworld book

My least favourite books are Pyramids and The Last Continent. Pyramids has a fantastic start and I had such high hopes for it and then once it left Ankh Morpork, I lost interest and struggled to finish it. I never really got into The Last Continent. It was the first DW book I ever tried to read at school and never made it past page 10. I came back to it a good few years later and struggled through to the end, but still didn't like it.
On a higher note, I am coming towards the end of Unseen Academicals and I am loving it. Does anyone else ever start to get close to the end of a really good book and kind of put off reading it because they don't want it to end?
I have just bought Pyramids from Amazon for a penny (wouldn't pay more than that) and am going to give it another go based on many of the people on this sites recommendations. Wish me luck!

I was like that with Equal Rites found it too hard - struggled through and I felt - was it worth it?
And the first time I read Theif of Time I could not get to grips with it either but I tried again a couple of years later and it just clicked. Now I rate it as top ten and would love there to be a follow-on!
I love Last Continent and am on my second re-reading of that. I love the Ecksians ... and the way the Wizards act around Mrs Whitlow is amazing and the jealousies that arise - all of them - aside from Ridcully acting like school geeks around the head cheerleader ...
And the God of Evolution is hysterical!

I love Going Postal and Making Money mystmoon and a best friend who lives just down the road from me adores Going Postal.
I am struggling through Sourcery I must admit. But I understand that it is the one that changes Universities stance on Dead Men's Boots ... so I will finish it.
But I won't even bother buying Monstrous Regiment.
And I found Maskerade a bit hard to like for a bit.

For me, the last continent was pretty poor, along with Eric. I don't mind Rincewind, in fact i love him in Interesting Times and Sourcery, But i found him as flat as the disc in these 2 books. 
On another note, i love both Moist books. Both funny and giving insights into Vetinari. Also, i found the Epilogue in both of the Moist books very profound, and i had a sort of "realisation" moment, which i have with several Terry P books.
