Nope, the humour is universal. There's even a list of annotations if you feel that you didn't get something.

Just borrow "Guards! Guards!" or "Mort" from someone, and then go through the rest. But get the British versions if possible - most of the covers are superior to the American ones.

Excelent - I will start reading as soon as I can give myself time to enjoy a good book.

Well, I had some german translations from discworld books and it was quite good understandable. The humour rocks. :)

I've always known that Hugi is made for the intellectual elite.

But I don't read Hugi!

Me neither.

im too elite to read Hugi, i just skim the text and have a laugh about their ignorance!

Me too.

perhaps you ment intellectual dyslexia?
plus, what context does it have here? apart from a few entries i see only absolutely trivial literature named here, so what do you want to say - that pouet =| intellectual elite and your readers are to be found elsewhere? well then go for them and leave us alone... :P

"The Pillars of the Earth", by Ken Follet... by far.

really? I thought your favourite book was "How Dominei and Thorsten got JCL's VJ system sold in all of Denmark by marketing it in live performances using a free copy supplied by JCL himself (while betatesting the version)" ;)

IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
Volume 2: Instruction Set Reference

Dominei: that's fine, my new VJ system made its debut this last saturday... you guys are obsolete by now ;)

Crime and Punishment,
Demons,
Idiot,
Catch 22

my top 2^2.

Personal fovurites are the Dune series by Frank Herbert, "The hellbound heart" by Clive Barker, anything by H.P. Lovecraft and "Sophie's world" by Jostein Gaarder

Martin Amis and Paul Auster ... period ...

Exactly anything by H.P. Lovecraft, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, "Neuromancer" by William Gibson, "The Roman" by Mika Waltari and Pratchett's Discworld series. :)

Jcl: can we have the old one then? :)

Dominei: but you were already selling it, weren't you? ;)

I'm still selling that one (or trying to)... way cheaper, but hey :)

Yes but we need a free copy here to show everyone how cool it is :)

It isn't anyway, it kinda sucks :)

but shhhh... don't tell anyone... i have to live ;)

H.P. Lovecraft's buddy Clark Asthon Smith did some awesome stories too.

PKD: Do Androids dream of electric sheep?
William Gibson: Neuromancer
William Golding: Lord of the Flies
John Steinbeck:The Pastures of Heaven and MANY, MANY other books from him!

Maybe you already know Good Omens - it's quite similar to Discworld, only faster and with a higher jokes-per-line ratio.
