Gail - I know. It's nearly impossible to pick just one. I put all the books in by hand, only to find out that you couldn't specify how many votes people get. Argh :(
hi I really like "the color of magic and thud.
I've never read any of them, either, but I have copies of the whole Discworld series, and I'm planning on reading Color after I finish the book I'm currently reading.
Hmmm... I wonder if it would be "better" to do which is your least favourite. I can probably answer that one more easily. Maybe we can have an anti-recommendation shelf? :o)
So, I voted for "soul music" but I also love "the color of magic" and "feet of clay." Just sayin'...

Why do I have to pick just ONE?! Arrrrgh!
I've also never read any of them. I've heard several times how good they are, but I never seem to find time for them; too much other stuff to read.
Yes, I hate having to pick only one as well.
So hard to pick just one, and to remember which ones I've actually read.Maybe I just need to read them ALL again!
Mod
Cool - Sadly you'll have to pick one to vote!
Mod
That's quite an awesome idea, Meg.
I'm not sure we really want to be hating on Pratchett, in particular but I'm sure there are things we could anti-recommend.....
*off to start a discussion thread*
Mod
Because I know when I see the way the votes are going, I always use my vote to bump up one of the underdogs! And since you can change your vote on here, I thought it might get a bit.....*wait!*......CHAOTIC.
What was I thinking? Of course we should go with chaotic. Clearly I spent too long as a bureaucrat. I'll go change the settings. This could be infinitely more entertaining...
Mod
Maybe I just need to read them ALL again!"
I know. I would have liked to have been able to do a top 3. I had to go through and read all the synopses and try to remember which ones I actually read. It has been a very long time! That kind of worked out for the best, as I realised there's only one that I still have vivid recollections of. It's "Reaper Man" for the record. Oh, Binky. I still think that's genius.

You just need to click on a book above to vote.
I like it! Great fun to choose our bookshelves. Thanks Ruby.

Ha Ruvy I always use the same strategy! I wait until the last day to vote.

Hehehe. One of our local burger chains has a community chest vote every month. With your burger you get a bottle top to put in one of three jars with the name of a local charity on it. The winner gets a cash donation. I can never bring myself to put it in the one that's already winning!
Hard to pick just one. I loved the first two best, but then I just read "Guards, Guards" and could NOT stop laughing. I think my husband got sick of me reading sections out loud to him.
alrite this is great...i've been meaning to start reading the colour of magic...i only read some of him books and i think his pretty much rocks
Haha... Terry is actually a he. (The pic at the top of the page is him.) I thought China Mieville was a woman for years.
Mod
Oh, I get into trouble for doing that too. My boyfriend will now never read John Dies at the End because of me!
@ Gertie: lol edited definitely didnt kno that but oh wellwait China isnt a girl?? oooooooo
Mod
That post sounds almost like it's in a phonetic Scottish accent. "Ah need ti rread tha!" At least that's the way I'm choosing to pronounce it :)
I haven't read a discworld book in months, I don't think. It may be time to return!
I've never read any of the "Diskworld" books But I keep trying without success. (Strange brain inside my head).But what a great idea for a poll and comment chatter.
This will help those like me looking for a doorway in.

Hehe. BF and I use the "CREEAAK" line around here too. Ruby's listening to hiphop? Creeeaaak! Paulie's listening to metal? Creeaaak!
Mod
In the meanwhilst, I just realised there's a Pratchett book called The Unadulterated Cat. Why have I not seen this before? And why do I not own it?

Totes unacceptable. Somebody must pay.
Hehe. I will. For that book. Out of my quite slim bank account.
Mod
I'll be adding the top few to the Humour Bookshelf, and we can use this for reference for any of the other shelves he's nominated for. Thanks again :)
