Favourite Character(s)

PixelTrawler

Hard one to be honest - I cant decide if its Death or Vimes... or the Librarian... or...

OfflerCrocGod

Very hard....Death probably but ridicully and rincewind are close, Vetrinari you don't see much of but is excellent when you do Tough.

PixelTrawler

Yeah actually Vetinari is great! and Greebo... forgot about him

Talliesin

Has to be Esme.

Kalina

I liked Esk a lot, and the lead guy in Moving Pictures. Can't remember his name. I also liked Mort, and death of course.

PixelTrawler

whos Esk again

Lady Sybil

Oh so many favourites, Sybil and Vimes, Carrot and Angua, Death, and the Witches

Shiminay

Definitely Vimes with Susan coming in behind. Probably Ridcully after that.

Sarky

The Bursar. He's spiffy.

PixelTrawler

kinda finding monstrous regiment a bit hard to keep focused on...
maybe its all new characters... no history

i know he has to breathe new life into the series and all bit its not quite as good... mind you sergeant Jackrums a good character

Carrot i like and William De Worde is growing on me as one of the newer characters

It's easily his worst effort to date (Please God it will be his worst ever!)

PixelTrawler

nearly finished it but its tough going...

d-arke

Have to say, I'm back reading Mort again and Death is quality. He's definitely my fav character.

Closely followed by:
Rincewind: (Basically thought he was class since playing the computer games, but in the books he's even funnier)

Vimes: (especially in Nightwatch, though I haven't read all the guards books yet, i think)

CMOT (Cut MY Own Throat) Dibbler: (The discworlds very own Delboy Trotter) I think in Soul Music he's the manager and very funny. Been a while since i read it.

Conan the Barbarian: (i think if memory serves correctly, in Interesting Times along with the other barbarians)

Shanannigan

as a newbie, my favorite character so far has been Rincewind... my favorite part of sourcery was the four horsemen in the drum drinkin on the way to the... is it the apocralypse?

Ah yes - the one horseman, and the three pedestrians of the apocalypse. Sheer genius

Thanx 4 The Fish

The patrician is my favourite char. Just the right blend. Vimnes I think comes a close second.

munky

Vimes!Has to be.
He's the most developed of all the charaters (although death is close)
Is there a watch/death book out there?
Cuz if there ain't he should write one!

Somnus

Thats a really hard choice...........
i mean theres Death,Death of rats,the wizards,Lu tze etc.

Its too hard to just pick one
although i'd say Death is one of my favourites

bozzie

i gotta go for either vimes or DEATH

followed by granny

finally finished it... tortorous read

went on to Going Postal - great read. Moist Von Lupwig is also a great character, also vetinari was great in this one too

bozzie

yeah it appears monsterous regiment was an anomoly
i have to say i enjoyed both going postal and Thud!
heres to the next one

Brow

Death is my favourite character but some honourable mentions must be made...

Rincewind, The Librarian, Dibbler and Om in turtle form in 'Small Gods' come to mind straight away.

Delphi91

What about the Luggage???

Sam Vimes

doh! should have got the reference!

Mr Pump


Just finished Going Postal my new fav book in the series


kdjac

PixelTrawler

Going Postal was great.

Seemed like a great return to form after trudging through monstrous regiment.

Darkwing Duck

Lu-Tze - hightly under rated, all those daft sayings and nothing to back them up....magic.....


And of course the always important Rule One......

BossArky

Lots of great characters:

Moist Von Lip & William de Worde seem pretty similar, both great though.
Lord Vet.
Vimes.
Don't like Sybill.
Librarian is excellent,... ook! (he felt a soft leathery something grasp his hand)
Om, the turtle.
The luggage & Rincewind in the second league of characters I think.

Demetrius

Sam Vimes would be the best main character with any of the Igors being the best minor characters.

Anto and Moe

Vimes, Death or Rincwind... they should fight to the... oh no, that wouldn't quite be fair I suppose... So how will I decide...?

Cormic

I always preferred the Wizards, especially Rincewind. Also love Death and Susan. Come to think of it I would love to see Susan starring in a book again.

the evil lime

Vimes, particularly in Night Watch.

Then Vetinari, any time he turns up.

Oh, and Greebo.

Asiaprod

The Librarian, one cool ape (did someone just say MONKEY)

Snake Pliisken

Greebo, Vimes , Rincewinds friend sell ins-ewer-an-se.
All great characters

WallysWorld

The Watch, Colon, Nobbs, Detritus, Angua, Carrot etc. bumbling incompetant but they get the job done!

Bonzodog

I think my favourite characters have to be the witches, closely followed by the Librarian. My favourite book to date (and I have all books up to Going Postal), is Lords & Ladies. "Lots of hey nonny nonny and blood all over the place".

jhop

well, Lu-Tse indead. and death. Hex is not really a charactor, but as a programmer, a system that doesn't work until it has enough bugs is great! And detrius superconducting was great.

Really, very few of the characters are bad. Most of them have a single joke attached (well the minor characters anyway), but since it is usually a good one i dont mind.

Li'l Irish

Defintiely Cheri. Gods, I love Cheri. And Detritus is great,too. They're like Dr. Zoiberg from Futurama; they don't get the biggest parts, but everytime they say something it's pure gold.

Splatterly

I have difficulty deciding who my favourite character is in a single book, never mind favourite overall!

I think I must be the only one that enjoyed Monsterous Regiment!

Gizmodeon

my favorite character has to be death
he's just so clueless and loveable!
