Exactly. It suprises me that so many people talks about the books when it was the radio series that was really good. The books was OK especially the first two.

As for Tech_Au - I can't stand the first few Discworld books. I'm glad I didn't start there, as Rincewind is my least favorite character. Trust me, the books keep getting better and better. I can't vote in this poll, as choosing between Pratchett and Adams is just too difficult.

I re-read the first Discworld books recently and the first ones are not especially good.
