Hi, I'm new. I noticed the this part of the board was almost empty so I made this post. The title pretty much explains it all. Also you can add why it is your favourite if you feel like it... I don't.

My favourite watch book is Night Watch

1st EDIT: added a poll
2nd EDIT: added this bit explaining the edits

Jingo, definitely. It was the first Discworld book I read.

Men At Arms: funny (numerous scenes), emotional (Cuddy), allegorical (the effects of guns) and a very good mystery.

It was also the first watch book I read, and possibly the one book that got me irrevokably hooked on Discworld.

I would have also said Men At Arms if I hadn't of read Nightwatch. Men At Arms was class with the whole murder mystery thing and Cuddy of course, god rest his soul. But for me Nightwatch is one of the best books he's wrote, gripping and entertaining throughout.


Back to stay!

A tie between Men at Arms and Night Watch.

I like them all really, I chose Guards! Guards! because it's the first time you really get into the Watch, I loved the title when it came out and it's got a dragon in it.

I have to say that the Watch Books are definetly my favorite but if I had to pick one it would have to be Night Watch. It was more poignant and heroic then the others without losing it's trademark Pratchettness.

I haven't voted yet, because I still can't decide.

I voted for Night Watch it's definitely one of my favorite books ever. The only thing it lacks is more Detritus

It really is hard to choose between Night Watch and Men at Arms. I finally went with the latter because I love watching the relationship between Carrot and Angua develop. Both books are top on my list of favorites, though!

I really can't pick. It seems it's what ever book I read last. I was going to say 'feet of Clay' but now I'm re-reading 'Men of Arms' it has soem great bits to it.

Definitly Night Watch. It clears up some of Sam's history for me

Night Watch. I'm more inclined to like dark settings, as this book had, but Jingo was a close runner-up.
