Answer 1

from Mort my favorite book (note the yahoo ID) Death's
entrence in to the square

And then they heard the clip-clop of hooves, which boomed rather more loudly around the chilly square than common acoustics should really allow. In fact clip-clop was an astonishingly inaccurate word for the kind of noise which rattled around Mort's head; clip-clop suggested a rather jolly little pony, quite possibly wearing a straw hat with holes cut out for its ears. An edge to this sound made it very clear that straw hats weren't an option.

The horse entered the square by the Hub road, steam curling off its huge damp white flanks and sparks striking up from the cobbles beneath it. It trotted proudly, like a war charger. It was definitely not wearing a straw hat.

The tall figure on its back was wrapped up gainst the cold. When the horse reached the centre of the square the rider dismounted, slowly, and fumbled with something behind the saddle. Eventually he – or she – produced a nosebag, fastened it over the horse's ears, and gave it a friendly pat on the neck.

The air took on a thick, greasy feel, and the deep shadows around Mort became edged with blue and purple rainbows. The rider strode towards him, black cloak billowing and feet making little clicking sounds on the cobbles. They were the only noises – silence clamped down on the square like great drifts of cotton wool.

The impressive effect was rather spoilt by a patch of ice.

OH, BUGGER.

Answer 2

i'd ought to assert William de Worde is one in all my personal favourites - in part because the printing press is between the first everlasting steampunk additions to the Discworld, yet besides only for the guy himself. it truly is a shame that Sacharissa has grow to be the well-known public face of the cases, which signifies that William is really considered - except for a short visual charm in important Regiment and in Unseen Academicals, he's been somewhat a lot out of the operating. Stanley, from the post place of work, is yet another one i have grown to love in a present day studying of Going Postal. His come upon with Mr Gryle, and his coping with the subsequent fireplace, grow to be likely one in all my universal Discworld moments. i'm extremely worried that there doesn't look every person playing Stanley in the drawing close television style... CMOT Dibbler, HEX and different Igors are different favourites of mine. And the (no longer-so) genius Bloody stupid Johnson.

Answer 3

So many, but I love the scene where Captain Carrott confronts the Patrician, who knows him to be the rightful king of Ankh-Morpork. As Pratchett always makes clear, there's something inherently likeable and trustworthy about Carrott, he's naive, optimistic, trusting and thoroughly decent, a sort of younger, greener version of Vimes, who is my favourite character.

Answer 4

My favourite moment was in The Fifth Elephant.
When Inigo is alone in the clacks tower and hears a knock at the door. He looks out of the upstairs window but sees nobody is there. When he hears another knock, he goes downstairs, sets up his weapons and settles down among the boxes to wait. Something blows out the candle and it then occurs to him that you can knock on either side of a door...

Answer 5

It's when Death has taken Mort as his apprentice. They are flying through the night sky on the back of Binky. Mort is petrified with fear. Death looks down at him and, in a voice that sounds like tombstones falling, asks...

"Fancy a curry?"

Answer 6

Actually, it's a whole book! Did you know he brought out WHERE'S MY COW? at the same time as Thud? It's a work of genius and my 2 y/o loves it!! (mind you, it's the only picture book I know with the word 'bugrit' in it)

Answer 7

I always enjoy the anticipation at the start of his books because I know that I am in for a good read.

Answer 8

No no no. It has to be Gaspode the Wonder Dog! A dog that says 'woof'. I so want to call my dog Gaspode. Or Death of Rats he is cool too...or Luggage. Ahhh it's all good. What about Vimes pocket diary - 'Insert name here'.

I will have to go with Gaspode!
