Wowbagger, it should be noted that Colour of Magic is one of Pratchett's worst Discworld books, which is why almost no one recommends that you start with it. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

I started with the Colour of Magic...and I haven't read any others, because I didn't think it was that great.

Well I certainly keep my towel handy, just to be prepared for those pesky interstellar relocations, and always wonder what really would happen if I fell and got distracted at just the right moment..
Hitch Hikers is my cure for the blues. Btw, anybody whose seen the trailer, why does everybodies favorite depressed robot look like the michelin man with an allergec reaction to a bee sting.

I really like Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy" and most of the series. I got tired of it around the third or fourth book. The thing is, I don't even usually like British humor. OK, I was a fan of Red Dwarf as well and some of the same humor is in that series. One of my favorite comedies is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, another British Comedy. Then there is Mr. Bean, although I am not sure how "British" that show was, as sight gags are rather American.
Any other British Comedy I have seen was mostly boring. I know this is a strange question, but I wonder if Nepolean Dynomite could be considered Americanized British humor? It seemed to have the same low key absurdity.
