My girlfriend is a huge fan of Terry Pratchetts work. I recently bought my first Discworld book ever (Jingo Engl Version)
I really like it.
do you have to read the books in the order they where published??
Hopefully not cos Jingo is book 21
Visit me at my personal space.
Regards and cu soon

Hi!
I haven't read them in publishing order, and it didn't make too much difference, actually . I'm still missing some of the earlier books.
Some of them are linked together, but not so that you need to have read all the others first. There are a few characters that pop up again and again - like Sam Vimes and the Watch in Jingo - but they're not in every single one.
My favourite one at the moment is Thief of Time.
Hope your girlfriend comes back soon, but till then 
. Just think how nice it'll be when she's back!

Corporal Littlebottom seems to be one of them mentioned more than once:
(She is mentioned in the first 15 pages of Jingo and she is a lead character in the fifth elephant???
By the way where are you from?
cu soon

Yes - she's introduced in Feet of Clay, and she is pretty major in The 5th Elephant. I should be disturbed that I remember that!
I'm originally from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, UK, but I've lived in various places around the UK. What about you?

I am from Germany, as my username shows.
I am from Mainz, which is the capital of Rhineland - Palatinate.
Currently i am in Bitburg (don`t know if you ever heard of that place) I am learning the job of a travel agent here.

I know where Mainz is, although I'm not sure about Bitburg. Travel agent must be an interesting job, are you studying for a qualification or training on the job?
