Pratchett is one of the only authors that, once I start on a set of Theme books, I have to read them all. I've re-read the Watch and the Witch series so many times now...
This didn't happen to me until NIGHT WATCH -- I read it first, and then had to go back and reread all the rest of the Watch books. But oddly enough, GOING POSTAL had the effect of (as mentioned above) making me go and reread all of the Watch books, and they aren't even in it, go figure.
What I love about his work -- well, aside from everything -- is that he consistently gets better with time; his work isn't stale, he's clearly not bored with his creation, and his ability to twine a number of subplots together has also become so seamless it's just sheer joy.
