Now
The Flying Sorcerers is on my lifetime top 20 list! It's a book that I regularly re-read every 3-4 years. I adore all the puns throughout the book and its overall silliness coupled with a rather serious basic storyline.

Really? It's #20 in Discworld? Maybe that's why I simply couldn't get into it.
Hogfather was recommended to me as the first of a trilogy and I tried & tried to read it. But, since I've read none of the Discworld series, maybe the fact that it wasn't really a stand-alone contributed to my problem.
