I got to meet him once in the late 90s. I had randomly grabbed the first discworld PlayStation game from a blockbuster or similar store when I was very young. Fell in love with it, played the second one. I begged my parents to drive me like 4 hours I think to go to him doing a talk and signing. I got him to sign a copy of The Color of Magic. So I guess that's my favorite book of his. But I think Night Watch might be my favorite story, if that makes sense

Makes perfect sense. I attended book festivals and various need conventions but somehow never met him. A real shame.

That's a bummer. I didn't get to interact with him much. He encouraged me to never quit reading and then signed my book. I think I was like 10 or 11 at the time. His voice was so weirdly comforting cuz I had no idea what to expect and was a very anxious kid nervous about meeting him.
