Well, so Discworld isn't Scifi per se, but I've found some corrilation between Firefly fans and Pratchett fans. Posting this to try and flush any fellow Firefly/Discworld fans.

I Love Discworld!!!

The first one I read was "Moving Pictures" and it had me laughing from start to finish......

The wild ideas for movies hiding in the sand dunes of California!!!! Ha! Ha!!

I think that Joss must've found one when he came up with the very original and wild idea of the Sci-Fi /Western mix of Firefly.......

Did you see the BBC dramatisation of "Johnny and the Bomb" ? It was excellent and very funny, too.

I hope LanceConstableLogan sees this - as you can tell by his name, he loves Discworld too (and Firefly - he writes fanfic!!)

Chat again soon!!

"You know what the first rule of flying is?... Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home." Mal, BDM

Huge Pratchett fan here - glad to see there are others.

I didn't know that they'd done a dramatization of "Johnny and the Bomb" - that rules! I'll have to get hold of it. JatB may well be my favorite Pratchett book, but it's hard to decide.

Love Terry Prachett. I even have a stuffed camel named "U Bastard".

My favorite of his books is (so far) Small Gods. And I loved Good Omens too, that he wrote with Neil Gaimen. Funniest. Book. Ever.

Glee! And Moving Pictures is indeed mighty fun. It did not help that I live near Hollywood. I my self am very fond of Jingo, though Thud! is right up there. I got it signed and everything, and met another Browncoat at the signing.

I LOVE Terry Pratchett! My first novel of Discworld was Hogfather seven years ago, but I've read more than I can count since then. I heart Captain Carrot!

I started at the beginning and worked my way though, though I have lapsed a bit in recent years. *shame*

Huzzah for the Discworld!

I haven't made my way through the whole series yet--mostly because my exposure is through borrowed books, the library, and the occasional gift. But I'm very fond of what I have read. In fact, the computer I am posting from is named 'Hex.'

Thanks for posting this! I'm trying to get my fiance (ChrisPV) interested in the Discworld series. I gave him "Soul Music", but that might not have been the best starter story. One of my co-workers this summer suggested "Guards! Guards!" instead. Any thoughts?

I've found that the Watch books are very good recrutment books. And that sure covers G!G!. Another good one might be Mort.

Couldn't help but think, "I love my captain."
