> I think it varies from book to book. Also it varies on what you think is funny. The Rincewind books and Interesting Times is good if you love a coward or just magic that goes wrong. Maskerade and some of the later witch ones(I mentioned I didn't think the origional witch ones were funny) are funny if you laugh at people with low self esteem. Any of the Watch books are good if you like a character who is really smart, tough, manages to get himself deeply embedded in crimes or who has a high position which he detests. The Death books are good if you like to see a character who is fighting their natural calling. Like I said, it varies.

What I really liked about the first two books was Practhett seemed to fall into the situational comedy range of comedy. He took two (somewhat) normal characters and placed them in outrageous situations rather than taking several characters and have them say 'funny' things (as in most of the situation comedy television shows these days). I think it came about right at the end of the first book. Right when Rincewind spotted the space suits -- bam! -- everything clicked. Everything started to gel. Then _Equal Rites_ seemed to abandon this style.

Yes, very good.

Nah. You can never talk interesting books to death. Now, discussing _Blade Runner_, that's a different story.
