Forget Bond, who's the best Discworld Character? I'm hoping for the minor characters, but I guess it'll be Carot/Sam/Granny/Nanny/The Agony Aunts. I couldn't remember who I was thinking of, but I finally found Amschat B'hal Zoon[^]. I think he's great, yesno?

Surely that would be Archchancellor Ridcully?

Honestly. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Death or Lord Vetinarii. Of course, there are the old favourites: Sam Vimes Nobby Fred Colon Detritus Glod Twoflower Susan Sto Helit Mort Albert Moloch The Great A'Tuin and the person on who my own sig is loosely based Lu Tze.

I like Sam Vimes as he is down to earth and doesn't like taking crap or BS from anyone. Vetinari is wonderfully politically astute and I love the way he can weave situations with seemingly very little efforts.

Death is good. But I prefer Vetinarii.

Sam Vimes was good in the first couple of books about him. The last one I read (where he was trapped in the past) came across as long, morose, pseudo-philosophical rant and was a tedious read. The whimsical humour of the early Discworld books has pretty much gone, more's the pity.

Otto the vampire photographer in The Truth. I laughed all 7,342 times he took a picture. The joke never got old. He's got a new YA book out. Nation. Not a Discworld novel.

And how could I forget Igor? Or Igor. Or possibly his cousin Igor? And then again, there's Igor from near Slice. Ah hah - let's not forget Casanunda. The worlds second greatest lover - he tries harder.

What is "discworld"?
"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 -
"Oh, please sue the university! We've got a pond full of people who tried to sue the university..." - Archchancellor Ridcully Ridcully plays hardball, man. My favourite sentiment from any of the books.
