It took me a long time to finally finish that one, though the conclusion saved it a little bit.

My favorite discworld novel is Small Gods. The only one that has dissapointed me is Monstrous Regiment, all the rest have been a good read.

Without giving anything away, it features some of my favorite storytelling devices, and reveals Ankh-Morpork's history as never before.

It's good to hear that most of the series is like this. I'm reading Night Watch now, and I'm on the look out for more. There seems to be a lot of them at the library.

Not only does "Feet of Clay" age well as far as being up to the consistently high quality of the series, it lays the groundwork for changes in the culture of Ankh-Morpork, and every new book manages to use Fantasy as a mirror to current issues. Also, it's easy to pick up nearly any book in the series without having to read any previous book.
