It's great to see so many Discworld fans around! Have a sausage inna bun, all!
Well, it's about a flat world that rests on the backs of four elephants that stand on the back of a giant turtle that swims through space. It's a place where magic makes more sense than science. There are books about various residents of the Discworld, which are mostly unconnected with each other. For the most part, the books stand alone.
It makes a lot more sense if you just read them. They're really funny and just great to read. The Colour of Magic is the first one, but I recommend Small Gods or Guards! Guards! to start out.

I LOVE Terry Pratchett! Love love love 
So far I own 17.
The first book I read of his was Pyramids and strangely this is my least favourite.
Favourites will have to be Reaper Man and Thief of Time
Favourites characters hmm... Susan, Death, Vetinari and Carrot. *nodme* and Nanny and Granny... and Rincewind... and... okay so I like most of them.
