Nonnie and MiniMoon, I initially read DW paperbacks but used to travel a lot for work and family care needs so started to listen to the audio book editions in the car. The two DW narrators are excellent, although it took me awhile to get used to their different pronunciations of Ankh-Morpork: "ank" as in "tank" or as in "honk". grin I started with CDs from the library back in the day but ended up getting an Audible subscription.

gmarie I now have an urge to read them all again. I give away most books when I have read them, just keep the special ones as I have so many. Of course I still have all the TPs. Thanks for reminding me of the names.

gmarie Sun 11-Aug-19 22:04:07

I almost picked those exact two, Nonnie (Sam Vimes and Corporal Carrot) but couldn't leave out Nobby Nobbs and Fred Colon! smile I sure miss new DW books in general, and Terry Pratchett's genius in particular. sad

Why did they ever discontinue such a brilliant series? Madness.
'Silk' wasn't a good enough substitute imho.

I forgot Falco, would love to have a korero with him.
