First the suggestion: if you are a Pratchett fan, DO NOT miss Good Omens, a book he co-wrote with Neil Geimon (sp). The book is classic Pratchett, and simply amazing if you liked his Discworld series.
Question: is the wee-free-men series part of discworld? I was looking at them on amazon and they didn't appear to be discworld but could anyone who has read them enlighten me? Thanks!

as popular as Mr Pratchet is, he is not in the same league as Robert Asprin. Look him up sometime.

Put the crack pipe down, son.
That's like saying "As popular as Mr. Rock is, he's not in the same league as Howie Mandell"

Actually 'The Wee Free Men' is a discworld book, it's set in the same General area as Lancre but stars a new character, a nine year old girl called Tiffany Aching, also Granny Weatherwax makes a cameo appereance. The second book in the Tiffany series 'A Hat Full Of Sky' features Tiffany as an eleven year old and Granny Weatherwax plays a more prodominant role. I hope that answered your question ^^
Lol it did, but now I'm confused as I'm hearing from some people that it is, and from some people that it isn't rofl. I guess the more important question is: is it Pratchett's normal style of humor? Having now read my first truly non-discworld book of his "Good Omens", I am less afraid to stray from Discworld.
The two Tiffany Aching books are Definately part of the Discworld saga, i would bet my peacock charm on it.
I have never read any of the none discworld Terry Pratchett books apart from truckers and johnny and the dead. Truckers was very good but Johnny and the dead scared me...
It is my belief that the two Tiffany books were used by Pratchett to get some of his big thoughts down on paper, they are full of grand and majestic ideas that are riddled with Pratchett's strange take on logic, this mixed with a strong storyline make for very good reading.
Also for any up and coming Pratchett fan i would recommend 'The Night Watch' as this is my personal favourite book.
