h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

mmm! this is hard,i like the disorganisor demon,cut my own throat dibbler and detritus.imight change my mind though.

my favoutite characters have got to be Susan sto-helit.
Tho how anyone could ever mistake her for the Tooth fairy is beyond me?

Surely the beauty of Pterry's discworld writings is that there are so many wonderful characters that everyone can have his/her favourites!
My own hero is Sam Vimes, I've even been compared to him, (unfortunately as he first appeared in Guards! Guards! -BEFORE he quit drinking).

p.s. how come nobody mentioned Goodboy Bindle Featherstone of Quirm - Errol to his friends. Surely anyone who can fly that way has to be worth a vote!

Ah, Errol's a great character . Doen't appear enough to make him my favourite though. Loved the end of Guards! Guards! - (and the rest of it).

I suppose it was one chance in a million that someone would agree with me.

- well it would have to be

Mine are the strongest,Granny,Ridcully and of course Death.They are the strongest and the most naive in ways. The watch books are great but predictable.I do have a soft spot for Rincewind (Rowen Atkinson).

Mine are Angua Who's my absolute favourite(can we please see more of her Mr Pratchett)
Susan Sto Helit
(Its nice to see women taking centre stage in a book)
The Patrician, who I think is v.good
The rest of the watch.

I like her to.She's got to answer for that randy wolf she was running around with.I'm sure this will come up later.

I'm sorry I don't remember him.

It's terrible to say but I don't like Rincewind. He's incredibly irritating. Death is wonderful, so much more now than an anthropomorphic representation. Reaper Man was his finest hour, or possibly when he joined the Klatchian Foreign Legion to er.... you
know when a word won't come out of your er... the thing inside your head.
Granny is superb espcially when she made the vampires want tea in Carpe Jugulum. Nanny is to close to home to be comfortable, obsesses with food and sex and sexy food. Seems like a silly overweight lush but when you get down to it.
Was not keen on the watch but then i read Nightwatch and realised how real Vimes is. Thank you Terry for all your hard work. We don't begrudge the money - much! Award yourself a hard-boiled egg.

yes vimes(as john keel)is great in nightwatch,a real peoples hero,the sweeper is good too,and the young vetenari is scary

I agree that Vetenari is certainly a scary character in Nightwatch. You can just see him as a ruler in the making and identify the traits that have allowed him to keep a firm grip on the reins of power.

Carrot tops my list I think

You're right Rincewind is annoying,but the havoc in his books is whats funny.

I like Angua to, but are you saying that the Witch's are'nt the Woman in their books?

Yeah really like Angua. Problem is too many characters that are too good. Rincewind is annoying though. My list would have to read;
Witch: Nanny Ogg
Wizard: Bursar
Watch member: Carrot, although Vimes isn't far behind
Ankh Morpork regular: Gaspode, Vetinari, Dibbler (can't decide)
Other regular: Death - definitely!
Non-regular: Quoth the Raven

I so agree about the Patrician getting his own story. Night Watch of course sheds alittle more light on the man.

yes I thought having a little more of his back story is great...I enjoyed the wearing shades of grey thing...there is a new book comeing out...I know Prachett is comeing to NYC in OCT to do a book signing any idea on what it will be about?

I would also like to see a book about the Patrician.Can anyone tell me what would be interesting with a book about Nobby?I think it would answer a lot of odd questions.
