I never got the jewish reference before....although not all the golems had yiddish sounding names e.g Mr Pump.

I am spelling Vimes with an ''a'' because that's how it is spelled in bulgarian,but if it bugs anyone i'll change it.

"Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum of moo. And I am afraid to say that these days all I get is moo."

Sorry! I don't seem able to change it. i didn't do it on purpose.

"Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum of moo. And I am afraid to say that these days all I get is moo."

Sir Vaims, if you're talking of the spelling in your avatar, I don't see any reason why you should change that. On the contrary, as it is [i:d40aadcd26]your [/i:d40aadcd26]nick, let it keep its individual -in this case Bulgarian- touch!

Yeah I agree, keep Sir_Vaims it's cool.

This is such a hard poll!!

I voted for Men at Arms as i loved the whole Carrot and Angua plot where she gets "killed" and he takes her back to the Watchouse rather than going to Vimes' wedding -LOVE IT

Although after voting i realised how much i love The Fifth Elephant with the Trousers of Uncle Vanya and Nightwatch was awesome, i ALWAYS wear Lilac on May 25th

Good,old Dickins and his ''lilac'' plot. Night Watch is a wonderful work.

Ive read the book so much it feels like i was there lol

yeah,i know what you mean.

"Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum of moo. And I am afraid to say that these days all I get is moo."

My god that was a hard decision! I love all the Watch books; Vimes is my favourite character so these are definitley my favourite books.

I went for Night watch cause the whole Vimes/Keel teaching himself to be a good copper was seriously funny!

My favorite Watch book is Fifth Elephant, followed closely by Feet of Clay.
You know, I love the watch books. Feet of Clay was the first TP book I ever read, the next one was Gaurds! Gaurds! and I loved them both. But I could not get into Night Watch. I was so excited for it to come out, and when I finished reading it, I put it down and went "huh". Most of his books I read more than twice because there are things I missed before and there are really great stories. Night Watch, however, I have only read once and really have no desire to read it again. I cant even really put my finger on what I didnt like about it. :?
But, I digress.

Huh, another parallel - my first books were also "Feet of Clay" and "Guards! Guards!"...

"Hoher Sinn liegt oft im kindischen Spiel." (Friedrich Schiller)

Guards! Guards! was the first Watch book I read and while liking it, I still prefered the Wizards, it wasnt till Men-At-Arms when Angua read the journal in Vimes' belongings with the list of the widows he gave his wages to that I was really drawn into following Vimes as my favourite character. Suddenly any faults he had were forgotten about and saw him in a new light. So [b:e0d05660c6]Night Watch[/b:e0d05660c6] got my vote for the simple reason that it was practically entirly revolving around Vimes and set back in the times when Ankh Morpork was even darker and grimer than under the Patrician's rule(I'm a sucker for a good dark background). Also, with opponents like Carcer and Swing the bad guys were laid out from the beginnings and had good amounts written about them, developing them into full personalities in their own rights, which hadnt been done so much in MaA or GG in order to conceal their identities for the finale, to my mind anyway. Plus, it didnt involve Carrot hardly at all, and I dont like Carrot, never have, he's just too damned... perfect :evil:

Very difficult for me to choose. It was down to Night Watch, Guards! Guards!, Men At Arms, and Jingo. In the end, I went with Guards! Guards! as that was really the first book that made me fanatical about Terry Pratchett. It could have easily gone either way. All fantastic stories.
