Góð grein! Mér finnst samt vafasamt að bera Pratchett við Tolkien. Meira við hæfi að bera hann saman við Adams þar sem Pratchett er að gera líka hluti við Fantasy og DNA gerði fyrir SciFi.

Að mínu mati er DNA samt mun betri en Pratchett. Þegar Pratchett er á flugi er hann frábær en það er kannski í svona annarri hverri bók hans. Mér finnst þær oftast keimlíkar hvorri annarri. Ég er búinn með frá The Color of Magic og allar til og með Sourcery. Fyrstu tvær og Mort bera af þeim og eru mjög góðar, hinar tvær fannst mér bara í meðallagi.

En maðurinn hefur hugmyndaflugið í lagi og þegar allt gegnur upp eru skrif hans frábær.

Jamm.. mikil snilld.
Á allt sem að hefur komið út í kilju, bíð spenntur eftir The Truth.

Harðbaksútgáfurnar taka alltof mikið pláss og eru of dýrar til að maður setji fé í það, frekar bíð ég aðeins.

Fyrir þá sem að finnst Terry Pratchett góður þá mynduð þið kannski vilja skoða Tom Holt. Þeir eru ekki beint að skrifa eins bækur, en húmor/fantasy-stuðullinn er mjög svipaður.

www.tomholt.com listar bækur hans, vefurinn sjálfur er í stöðugri vinnslu (undir minni stjórn :p)

Eru titlarnir í réttri röð.

Ég hef ætlað að kíkja á þessar bækur nokkrum sinnum en ekki vitað hvar ég ætti að byrja.

Hér er listi yfir allar bækur Terry,
tekið af opinberri aðdáendaklúbbsíðu Pratchett:


1971 The Carpet People
Terry was 17 when he wrote this, his first novel, and he even drew the cover himself. It tells the story of tiny tribes living in the weave of a carpet. The rewrite in 1992 is different enough to be considered a separate novel.

1976 The Dark Side of the Sun
A curious sci-fi novel with hints of Asimov. The original has another Terry Pratchett cover, but the re-print in the late 1980's was given a Josh Kirby cover.

1981 Strata
Another sci-fi novel, but this one parodies Larry Niven's Ringworld. There is a Discworld in the book, but not as we know it!

1983 The Colour of Magic
The first Discworld novel features Rincewind, TwoFlower and the Luggage. If you own a first edition, you might expect to sell it for 500 UK pounds.

1986 The Light Fantastic
Follows on directly from TCOM. Terry's ideas of the Discworld were not fully matured at this stage, so the first two novels have a slightly different flavour to them.

1987 Equal Rites
The series had started to take off when Equal Rites was published. Terry introduced us to Granny Weatherwax and Esk, the first female wizard. Esk has not been mentioned in any subsequent book.

1987 Mort
Death had become a popular figure in the early novels and in Mort he developed real character.

1988 Sourcery
The wizards return in a story about a Sourcerer - a wizard with limitless power.

1988 Wyrd Sisters
Granny is back and is joined by fellow witches Magrat and Nanny Ogg. Who is the rightful heir to the Lancre crown? This novel was serialised by Radio 4 in 1995.

1989 Pyramids
One of those unusual Discworld novels without a sequel, Pyramids is set in the desert regions of Djelibeybi. The oustanding feature of this book is the description of the assassins' final examination which parodies the UK's driving test and is one of the best passages that Terry has written.

1989 Guards! Guards!
Introducing the city watch and Corporal Carrot in a battle against a dragon that has taken over Ankh-Morpork. Another novel to be serialised by Radio 4 back in 1991. Large elements of the story were also used in the Discworld game.

1989 The Unadulterated Cat
Not a Discworld novel, this book takes a humorous look at the behaviour of the feline species.

1989 Truckers
First in the Gnomes trilogy - supposedly for children, but with plenty of interest for adults. The gnomes in question face eviction with the demolition of the department store where they live.

1990 Diggers
Second in the Gnomes trilogy. The gnomes find a new home under ground, but some gnomes have more ambition.

1990 Eric
What happened to Rincewind after Sourcery banished him to the Dungeon Dimensions. This book was originally published with illustrations by Josh Kirby and is much shorter than the other DW novels.

1990 Good Omens
Terry co-wrote this with Neil Gaiman and it has a flavour of both authors. Heaven and Hell prepare for the final battle, but a mix up at the birth of the anti-Christ has strange results.

1990 Moving Pictures
Ankh-Morpork gets movie fever and CMOT Dibbler gets his biggest role yet. Unfortunately, the creatures from the Dungeon Dimensions are at it again. A noteable book because Gaspode the Wonder Dog makes his first appearance.

1990 Wings
Third in the Gnomes trilogy. The gnomes take to the skies and discover their true ancestry.

1991 Reaper Man
Death goes awol in the sequel to Mort. One of the most popular in the Discworld series.

1991 Witches Abroad
The witches in foreign parts in a battle against Grannies evil sister.

1992 Lords and Ladies
A classic witches novel in a parody of A Midsummer's Night Dream. Magrat and Verence make wedding preparations, but evil is afoot.

1992 Only You Can Save Mankind
The first of Terry's stories about Johnny Maxwell which his publishers market as childrens' books. What do you do when the Space Invaders surrender?

1992 Small Gods
A tale of religion in the Discworld's desert regions. Brutha finds god - in the cabbage patch.

1992 The Carpet People
Terry's reworking of his first novel.

1993 Johnny and the Dead
This second Johnny Maxwell book was made into a TV series by LWT. The local graveyard is to be sold as a building site, and its inhabitants are none too happy.

1993 Men At Arms
Following on from Guards! Guards! this novel is the Discworld equivalent of a crime novel.

1994 Soul Music
Death is missing again, and a new craze has gripped Ankh Morpork.

1994 Interesting Times
Rincewind and TwoFlower in a reunion on the Counterweight Continent. It's interesting to see Terry handle characters he hasn't mentioned since The Light Fantastic.

1995 Maskerade
A witches novel based around the Opera House in Ankh Morpork. Fans of Phantom of the Opera will particularly like this one.

1995 Johnny and the Bomb
The third Johnny Maxwell book and the best to date. Johnny time travels back to the second world war using an old shopping trolley belonging to bag lady Mrs Tachyon. With help from his trusty friends (Yoless, Bigmac and Wobbler), he tries to change history and prevent the terrible carnage wreaked by a stray bomb.

1996 Feet of Clay
After Men At Arms, another crime novel. Someone is poisoning the Patrician, but who? And how?

1996 Hogfather
It was the night before Hogswatch… but the Hogfather is missing. HO, HO, HO. A terrible crime is planned against the children of the Discworld to get rid of the Hogfather. And an excess of ‘belief’ slopping around causes some very strange results.

1997 Jingo
Ankh Morpork is at war with Klatch. This is another Watch book very much in the style of Feet of Clay. Tensions mount over a territorial dispute and ugly racism rears its head.

1998 The Last Continent
Rincewind finds himself in the inhospitable terrain of XXXX where every plant and animal is out to kill him. Back at Unseen University, the Librarian is ill and the Library is running amok. To cure the Librarian, the wizards need to know his real name, and the only person who knows that is busy falling into waterholes in XXXX!

1998 Carpe Jugulum
The Witches face their toughest adversaries yet - the Vampyres! A dark and sinister novel at times which really brings into question Granny's future in Lancre. The villains are beautiful but terrifying! Some excellent incidental characters litter the plot with a hilarious reprise for HodgesAaargh!

1999 The Fifth Elephant
The Patrician sends a diplomatic party to Uberwalde for the coronation ceremony of a new chief dwarf with Vimes at their head. Sir Samuel discovers the world of diplomacy a struggle as he meets a Vampyre who is ‘on the wagon’ and Angua's family of Werewolf miscreants.

2000 The Truth
Ankh Morpork has its first newspaper and headline news is that The Patrician has been framed for attempted murder.

2001 Thief of Time
The grey Auditors are meddling with the Discworld again as Time itself stands threatened. Susan is once more plucked from her semi-normal existence to help where DEATH can't.

Terry Pratchett er frábær rithöfundur og Discworld bækurnar eru hans bestu verk ;o)

ég hef lesið í truckersseriunni, sem er mjög fyndin, og þessarri sem gerist útí geim, sem er alls ekki eins góð og Diskworld. og mer finnst Diskworldbækurnar bestar. uppáhalds bókin er líklega Small Gods þó að uppáhalds caracterinn minn sé dauðinn ;o) ég er reyndar ekki búin með allar bækurnar en er að lesa Thief of Time. þó hún sé ekki komin í kilju á ekki að sleppa henni af listanum!

eitt af því skemmtilega við P. er að hann deilir líka á samfélagið sem við lifum í innan um húmorinn

Hömm ég hef nú aldrei lesið neina af þessum Discworld bókum.. byrjaði á einni fyrir þónokkru síðan en náði aldrei að klára hana.

Ég hef að vísu bæði lesið Carpet People og Only you can save mankind sem mér þóttu báðar nokkuð skemmtilegar. Þyrfti að tékka á diskheiminum við tækifæri.

Minnistæðast úr Only you can save mankind er tölvuleikurinn “Ferðin til Alpha Centauri”, sem gekk út á það að eftir að maður ræsti leikinn þá birtist skjámynd með fullt af stjörnum sem þjóta framhjá. Þegar leikurinn er síðan búinn að vera í gangi í nokkur þúsund ár (eða hvað sem það nú tekur langan tíma fyrir svona venjulega geimferju að fara til Alpha Centauri) þá birtist allt í einu skilti á miðjum skjánum þar sem stendur “Welcome to Alpha Centauri. Now go back home”. Síðan taka við önnur nokkur þúsund ár í heimferðina.

Hmm þetta er nú fyndnara þegar maður les það í bókinni, en það sakar ekki að reyna að segja frá því ;-).

Grievous Bodily Harm
Cruelty To Animals
Things Not Working Properly Even After You've Given Them A Good Thumping but secretly No Alcohol Lager
Really Cool People

Hver kannast við þetta? :)

Má ég byrja á að þakka þér innilega fyrir þessa frábæru grein þína. Ég er mikill aðdáandi discworld bókanna
takk takk :)

Hvar getur maður keypt þessar bækur ef ég mundi

vilja fara kaupa þær,eru þær ekki nokkur margar bækurnar.
