    [​IMG] Check out the list at http://www.sorcerers.net/Books/index_pratchett.php and scroll past the Discworld books. Everything from The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents on isn't Discworld, but it's pretty good reading.

    I'd have to put Good Omens at the top of my non-discworld list too. I have pretty much liked all of the others but most are primerily aimed at kids. Not that stopped me enjoying them :) The Johny series was a nice reminder of what it's like being a 11ish year old (Only you can save mankind being an interetsing spin for all those who played early shoot em ups). The Truckers series I think was very well written with great characters and plot. They even made a decent TV series out of it. Of the adult non-discworld, non-Good Omens; Strata is an interesting look at how you might build a discworld (so is essential for discworld fans), Darkside of the Sun errr I can't really remember much about it so it didn't make much of an impression.

    PS as noone else ever seems to remeber the TV series, here's the link:

    Scroll down about half way.

    Heh, definitely Good Omens. Aziraphale (Of the book, not the boards!) and Crowley make such a cute couple.... *wink wink nudge nudge*

    I'll definitely stand behind Good Omens! A great book. And if you like Pratchett, try American Gods and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. He co-authored Good Omens with Pratchett.

    I really liked Crowley's method for growing the most luscious houseplants in all of London - and the most terrified :p
