Right I’m going to tackle a difficult decision list – my top five favourite Terry Pratchett books:

1. Lords & Ladies – a perfect combination of the witches, the wizards and the fairy folk (who turn out to be blood-thirsty, torturous killers).
2. Jingo – social satire at its absolute best, Pterry approaches Jonathan Swift-like heights with this tale of war and xenophobia. Also, bloody funny.
3. Nation – not Discworld. Thoughtful, sad, often angry, fun and funny.
4. Witches Abroad – fairy tale pastiche that’s hilarious on every page. Plus Nanny Ogg is a whole heap of fun, silver plate!
5. Night Watch – a real sense of history is created in this book, history of Ankh-Morpork and the characterisation is incredible.

Of course how could I miss The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, Reaper Man, Maskerade, Guards! Guards!, Interesting Times…. I had too! I was ruthless.

Your list?
