A possible case of Pratchett fatigue

[rilina]

First off, please remember to vote in the June selection poll. Voting closes tomorrow at noon EST.

Anyway, I finished reading Guards! Guards! over the weekend, and I suspect I have a developed a mild case of Pratchett fatigue.

This is the fourth Discworld novel that I've read in the past month or so, the others being Soul Music, Witches Abroad,

I definitely like the Death books the most, and I always enjoy Death's cameos in the other Discworld novels. As far as Granny Weatherwax, I adored Wyrd Sisters for its spin on Macbeth and Hamlet but was somewhat less charmed by Witches Abroad. I actually think Witches Abroad and Guards! Guards! are alike in how their central premise is the subversion of a fairytale convention: the princess marrying the prince to the lost king killing the dragon. Whereas Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters, especially the former, bring something from very much outside the world of heroic fantasy into Discworld--namely, rock music and Shakespeare. I haven't read enough of other Pratchetts to know how they would split on this particular categorization.

I really wasn't a fan of The Colour of Magic and I suspect I won't ever care for the Unseen University strand as much
