Oh. I don't even consider that to be the best of the sub-series it's
in. And of the whole of Discworld, there are many that I consider
to be far better. It's a good book, but not anywhere near the best
to me.
 

 
Well, I would be interested to hear your favourites. I have close to
40 Pratchett books and have re-read eight since I started rating
books.  Agnes Nutter's brilliant epic and the following Discworld
titles:  2 stars (Pot Boilers)    Going Postal, Moving Pictures,
                         The Colour of Magic.
3 stars (Very Enjoyable) Mort, Hogfather.
4 stars (Brilliant)      Small Gods, Guards! Guards!

A non-exhaustive selection, off the top to my head, no particular order:

The Truth
Hogfather
Thief of Time
Reaper Man
Men at Arms
Soul Music
Going Postal
