    Heh, there are others which take the piss outta Scots.
    The Wee Free Men is more of a childs book(or intended as one).

    I've read several of the Discworld-books (and also "Good Omens", that he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman), and I think he is hilarious. I am reading the Wee Free Men now, unfortunately I didn't know it was meant for children when I bought it. I still find it funny, though.

    It is sorta meant for the wee bairns, but its still very good, and theres a sequel to that one, too.

    The man is hilarous. The senarios in the books are usually humorous, but i find that usually the funniest things in his books are descirptions. He just describes things in such weird and bizarre ways that its funny.
    Now for some words of wisdom:
    Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.....hmmm wait just a minute.

    Love his books, my favourite is Mort because we hear more about Death who next to Rincewind is my favourite character. I also managed to get hold of "Wyrd Sisters" and "Soul Music" DVDs and the PS1 game "Missing Persumed." He is such a talented man and so was Josh Kirby, may he rest in peace.

    Discworld is excellent. Some of the best satire I've ever read.

    I used to read him a lot. <i>Small Gods</i> is brilliant, and there are many other classics like <i>Soul Music</i>, <i>Guards, Guards!</i>, and <i>Reaper Man</i>. Good times. Everyone should read <i>Small Gods</i>.
