Mr Pratchett, Him diamond

I've been a great fan of Terry Pratchett ever since the day I started reading the Discworld novels. Rather than raw fiction, it is philosophy, social commentary and a sprinkling of cynicism, which makes his books so enjoyable. The last in the line of books is Thud! (read it to get the Him diamond quote) started to read the Science of Discworld and sort of looking around for Wintersmith. So just out of curiousity, I started counting the Pratchetts I've read and as it turns out, I've read 42 of them. Here's a quick list of what I've read (in no particular order). If you liked Douglas Adams and wanted him to be more Tolkien, while making fun of the modern world - pick up a Pratchett, any one.

 
Book covers
Equal Rites Going Postal Pyramids Night Watch Thief of Time Feet of Clay
Mort The Last Continent Hogfather Good Omens Men at Arms Reaper Man

Ach, crivens !, wish'e could squiggle a neece ending to all yen tales - ye ken ?.
