Hello my fellow good readers.

I see that there are several recommendations to the Diskworld by Sir Terry Pratchett.
I read one book of the series a (long) time ago, and came to the conclusion (then) that it was more like Sir Pratchett had stolen the idea of Douglas Adams and tried to sneak off money of Adams' H2G2. Note that the Diskworld book (of which I don't remember the title of) was the first read book after the (first time read of) H2G2

So, my question is, preferrably to the readers who have read "The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"; should I give Sir Pratchett a new chance or would I still be too biased?
I've placed the first 5 books in my Amazon wishlist ready to be one-clicked should I get convinced in buying/reading Diskworld.
