I liked Night Watch the best. Carcer Dun and Sam Vimes had this whole Batman/Joker thing going that I really like. I also enjoyed the poignancy of the later chapters. They kept their humor even when they were tackling tough situations. Although I really don't think there was really a point of Death's showing up. He doesn't really habe to talk in every novel.

@THEBEAR:
Ah, so you're one of the other two who voted for Feet of Clay. I was alone there for a while.
I thought it had an excellent criminalistic plot, which blended well with the Discworld atmosphere and, as you said, serious and comic bits.

Wow, this one is really hard. The Watch books are my favorites.

I must say that Feet of Clay and Nightwatch are trying to fight their way to the top. I love Feet of Clay, one of the first DW novels I read, and I think the mystery is very well done.
Nightwatch just fills in so many holes, plus it features Lu Tze, which makes up for Detritus missing. Carcer & Swing still freak me out.

Undecided for now.

Thud! ... I should probably reread before placing it anywhere in the top 10.

just finished feet of clay, so i voted for it. i really enjoyed the humour and you can see how different this book is from the earlier ones (in my own opinion). but i enjoyed maskerade also. i loved the bit when granny and death played poker!

I really cannot say, because i have not read Thud yet. But from the ones i have read i would say "Night Watch"

i havent read thud yet either. so my fav is feet of clay. night watch comes second.

I haven't read Thud yet either, but this was a hard one because I like all the others. I think Jingo is probably my favorite, but I remember them all fondly, and could probably vote for any of them except for Night Watch (further explanations might entail giving away parts of the plot, so I won't go into detail).

This is a really tough question - it's really hard to choose but I think that I would have to answer Night Watch - i loved finding out about Vimes early life and I loved how many the older characters were linked by an historical event.

Guards Guards.
Simply because of that brilliant part where Vimes and The Patrician are in the cell. I thought the part about the cell door was excellent.
Plus, the clues that the coppers discovered were marverlous. I loved the part where Wonse asks 'did they all get out?'
The hooded guys were great too.

But I loved THUD! OMG I don't know which one to pick!

Aaaaaah! Can't decide! Not Guards! Guards! just because his writing style hadn't developed to its potential yet; everybody shows the signs of being in their first incarnation, especially Carrot and Havelock. And Vimes is still drunk. >> Haven't read Thud! yet, and The Fifth Elephant and Feet of Clay only got one read apiece because they were someone else's library books. Note to self: Either borrow or buy, they bear rereading....

I voted Jingo,but i am in fact split over that and Night Watch! i love Jingo because it includes all the Watch characters,whereas Night Watch is more consentrated on Vaims who,by all means,is my number 1 character!

Hey, Sir_Vaims... I notice you're from Bulgaria. They changed the spelling in translation? The spelling of 'Vimes,' I mean.

I feel the love for Feet of Clay. Just because I'm Jewish, and the golems were inspired by Jewish culture. Has anyone else noticed they all have Yiddish names?

...'Dorfl' is Yiddish? I'm not disagreeing - I know about eight words of Yiddish. Hmm...Yiddish names? Must reread.

Well, not specifically Yiddish. But the sound is supposed to emulate Yiddish.
