OK, so, you people got me interested in trying Pratchett, and now, I'm frustrated.
None of the reasonably close libraries have any checked in and none of the close bookstores have any in condition I'd pay for.

I get my books from abebooks.com and click on the "free shipping" section.
Or go to the 99 cent section (with low shipping).
That site gets too much of my money. I use it when the library doesn't have what I need.

By the way, this thread is the first I`d heard of any of the book being made into movies. Which ones were they? And are they available on DVD?

Do you like Josh Kirby's artwork on cover of the books? I really like them, they make an atmosphere, compared to plain black ones that I have seen.

Can`t talk now gotta make my Christmas list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And even though I can`t see youtube at work, I think Jeremy Irons as Vetinari sounds like pretty decent casting.

I was wrong, it's not Irons, it's that other creepy English guy. The bad guy from Last Action Hero. But Irons would be THE perfect Vetinari.

Um... Jeremy Irons was Vetinari in Color of Magic.

Sorry... "The Patrician". I don't think they named him at that point.

Oh, and FWIW, I didnt like Dance as Vetinari in Going postal at first, but as I continued to watch, he did kind of grow on me.

Did anybody else notice: Pratchett leaves his heroes rather nondescript?

I mean he does take great pains to describe what they think and feel, but unless it is very important (like with Carrot) they have really no physical atributes to them.
