i dont know :D
one of my neighbors told me i should read some pratchett. I have her reading the house of the spirits! and I just started this one.

She also loves the wee free men. I know she would like me to read that one but... I have no other plan as to what/when/etc. What would you suggest? :D I do like it so far although it seems to be a little less character development emphasis than I prefer. Still good so far though :D

I am less familiar with Pratchett than you would expect by me being me and my personality being what it is and whatnot.

But! I have read a few of the Discworld books, and I think they're worth your time.

I don't know the exact Discworld reading order, I think a lot of them you can just pop in and enjoy - at least that's what I always did. But I will say I really enjoyed the books "Mort" and "Reaper Man" that deal with the personification of Death. I also liked "Small Gods" a lot, which is kinda a religious creationist satire when the all-powerful god Om comes to earth and ends up in the body of a tortoise. Those three books deal with big philosophical questions about life and death, existence, and the like and those concepts tend to naturally lead to more character development than just jokes.

i looked those up and they sound right in my wheelhouse :D thanks for the recommendations!
i think i wont do them in order all at once because he seems like a writer who i will enjoy mostly, but certain books will keep me want to keep going back. :D

have you read the moore book lamb, the gospel according to biff, jesus' childhood friend? it is so fantastic. you should get on it if you havent :D
