As title. If so, what was your first DW book? What's your favorite?

Very glad to find this place, I expect we'll be seeing a few more people turn up over the next week or so!

My first DW book, I'm pretty sure, was Equal Rites. A friend of mine's mam owned a ton of the books and little ornaments and things and let me read whatever I wanted. It was at a very formative age for me and I'm pretty sure these books were a huge influence on how my personality turned out.

Favourite though, that's tricky. I always think Moving Pictures is really underrated, it has some of the best lines in the entire series imo. But overall I'd have to go with Thud! Not many books manage that combo of humour and intense gut-punching emotion.

I definitely hope we will!

I started quite young as well, and it definitely affected my sense of humor and outlook on the world.

Those are both excellent, and I agree it is very difficult to choose a favorite.
