I actually own every single Pratchett book (apart fromt eh "Where is my Cow" and the quiz/map/cook books and the three I lent to somebody and never got back...^^) and I enjoy reading them over and over again. There is so much wit, so much fun and so many little hidden jokes in that they make me laugh even at the third or fourth re-reading.

The only writer who could possibly one day be as good as Pratchett is Jasper Fforde, but his latest books did not really live up to the standard of his other works...so i'm a bit worried...

I really hope Mr. Pratchett will write more books, maybe Alzheimer will actually make them even funnier? And perhaps there will be more movie-adaptations as well? I am usually dead against movie adaptations, mainly because they are usually "loosely based on the book" and sometimes change charakters, roles and parts of the story to fit "Hollywood cliché"...in the Hogfather version a lot of text is taken directly from the book, and the story remains recognizable, so I'm quite happy. Tonight I'll have to see how the second half goes...
