Does anyone read these? I'm looking to buy a couple more but I'm a bit fussy, at the moment I only really like the ones with the Witches, the Wizards or Death/Susan. I've got:
Mort
Soul Music
Hogfather
Equal Rites
Wyrd Sisters
Carpe Jugulum
Witches Abroad
Lords and Ladies
A Hat Full of Sky
The Wee Free Men
The Amazing Maurice...
Maskerade
Reaper Man
plus a few others involving other characters. Are there any other books that feature these characters? Or recommendations for other Discworld books.
Thanks!
ETA these are all at home at the moment, I only have The Amazing Maurice at uni.

The Soul Music animated movie thing is amazing though!
I will get around to reading them all at some point. Too many good books out there. Poeple need to stop writing them for a bit so I can catch up
I've got Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters on DVD as well, Christopher Lee was a brilliant choice as the voice of Death.
Yanno. I just mean people in general
I've got a stupidly long list of books I have to read and no time to read em!
I want to read something a bit ...odd, I think I might buy Angela Carter's Fairy Tales or something similar.
That is all.
I'm thinking of buying this , it looks quite good and a similar type of thing to Everything is Illuminated. (Which I must read, once the effects of the film have worn off!)
Jasper Fforde - The Big Over Easy
Robert Rankin: Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse, Apocalypso & The Greatest Show Off Earth.
Wasn't impressed with 'The Colour of Magic' or anything else than involved Rincewind the Wizard. Not funny enough and a bit boring.
Otherwise as suggested look at Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series (The Eyre Affair etc. and The Big Over Easy. )
Good Omens?
The Truth and Going Postal, dealing respectively with a chap opening the first newspaper in the discworld and a condemned thief put in charge of bringing the Postal Service back to life, are also excellent.
Generally speaking for me, anything that happens in The Shades or involves brawls in The Broken Drum is a must.
Soul Music also good. And Men at Arms, though less laugh-out-loud funny, and gets predictable.
