Of the sample listed, which one is your favorite?
Any special reasons?

You listed Lu-Tze twice. I haven't voted yet, so if it was by accident you might be able to remove him yet.

My vote goes to Rincewind, with Death a close second (especially in the novels where he isn't a primary character).

In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

I cannot fix it.  Wonder why that happened?

The Dogbotherer is my favorite, with Vimes and Death tying for second.

probably because you had voted yourself already? :P

Have you seen Art of Discworld?
Amazing how much Rincewind looks like Pratchett.

I thought Rincewind was extremely skinny and had a very long red(-ish) beard? Pratchett, as I recall, is not exactly thin and has a short beard.

But I haven't seen Art of Discworld...

Slightly far-fetched, don't you think?

EDIT: though I'm sure he based the CHARACTER on himself ;)

You should really have a "Never read any Discworld" option for those of us who want to lurk and add to our post counts, but can't really participate :)

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

also: rincewind. vimes is also cool in night watch, but that story seemed almost to be a novel of a different genre, just also set in discworld.

also, you left off "the luggage". best character by far.

I was refering specifically to the Kirby art book's rendition of Rincee.

Most of the Vimes stories(NW, 5th Elephant, THUD, etc.) are of a different tone than the Rincewind books, or the Death Books.

And the luggage is cool, even in drag!(Lost Continent) !amazed

Yay! Rincewind taking the lead, with as much votes as all of his opponents' votes taken together! :D

None?
I highly recommend them all!
And the beauty of the series is that reading them in order is not a must.
Much more entertaining and soul stirring than say the Runelords. %-6

I see poor Polly has no votes, nor Mr. de Worde.
