    There is a bit of a contest, Death leads Vimes by only 1 vote. The Wee Free Men are pretty new characters, now I'm off to find me a cowbeastie.

    This poll should read:
    1. Death
    2. Rincewind
    3. Cohen The Barbarian

    Cohen should be there just on the basis of his din-chewers and his clever way of despatching a whole bunch of samurai. (Read Interesting times for that one. Had me laughing for ages.)

    That is all.:D

    Luckily that's not how polls work. What happens is, people are given a choice and then anyone who decides to vote gets a say in where Cohen should or shouldn't be (purely in terms of ranking on this poll of course;) ). At the moment, let me see, he is ...... nowhere.

    Nevermind:)

    If I didn't know better, I'd say you don't like old men running around wearing just a loincloth. What's wrong with you!!! :p

    personally I wouldn't be a fan of Cohens, hence I didn't vote for him. My point however (which you may be missing) is that for Cohen to do well in the poll he needs votes, of which he ain't got many.

    Well he did put the sequins on himself. Not literally on his own body but you know what I mean. And he'd get my vote over a frog pill popping maniac any day!

    I'm inclined to vote Om, but he isn't there (for shame). He was excellent. A cynical toroise, what more do you want? But failing that, Vetinari is the best. His dry wit rocks. Especially in Jingo, where he got a VERY good role for once. And about time too.

    I must say I'm rather dissapointed to see Igor with no votes. Admittedly *I* didn't vote for him, but come on! Igor! With the hands? And the lisp? And the limp? Yeah? Igor? Yeah?

    I demand in the stern tone of a man with absolutely no leverage that someone give him a sympathy vote.

    yeah, but which Igor? Igor or Igor or his cousin Igor or his father Igor or his brother Igor or his 3rd cousin once removed Igor??

    Yea, you'd probably better get it back there soon, wouldn't want any avenging librarian's chasing you down now would you.

    That'd be one scary day. Being chased down by the librarian for the book you haven't yet returned, and the massive fine in peanuts you still owe for overdues.

    Recently re-read Men at arms, which just confirms how much Carrot Rules (or chooses not to). First proper Watch book and it's so cool. Carrot all the way.

    Well that book was borrowed from a friend of his that the friend "borrowed" from the library. Nothing to do with me I'm afraid

    *listens intently for the sound of orange hair rustling in the wind*

    OOK.

    Oh bug- ...... ... .. .. . .

    If you're looking for a god read try "Small Gods".
    (sorry for the really bad joke)
    Seriously any of the guards books are good for laughs, and more laughs.
    They are:
    "Guards, Guards"
    "Men at Arms"
    "Feet of Clay"
    "Jingo"
    "The Fifth Elephant"
    and "Night Watch".

    OMG guys - you forgot the funniest Wizard in the series - Ridcully!

    BURRRRSSSSAAAAAR!

    His bullet-headedness cracks me up everytime, especially the little one-on-ones with Ponder Stibbons. I don't like Rincewind anymore because he's too one-sided - the coward (you can tell he's from the early days of discworld when it was all just jokes and farce). Maybe it's about time Pratchett made him grow up a little - his books are still a laugh tho'

    But I think Vimes is the best/most 3D character - he's been moulded really well since GuardsGuards; NightWatch is a triumph, and I think there's a little bit of Sam Vimes in us all. Death is a good character for no other reason than you end up _pitying_ him for his lame attempts to understand the one thing he's meant to take away - life.
