I have all of them (except for 1) and I've got the last 5 books in Hardback (oh and "the last hero" aswell... you know... the big book with pictures)
Too bad some idiot destroyed my cover of 'The Truth'

I do hope Terry pratchett's new books will centre around the original characters again (Vimes and the watch or Rincewind) because the latest two books ('Wee Free Men' and 'Monstrous Regiment') though they are great... the original characters only play a small role in these books.

I prefer Pratchett and his humour over any fantasy author any day.
I tried Tolkien but the characters there were just too... over the top.
The over-dramatical hobbits, the overly heroic Aragorn and sortlike.
Thats why i prefer Pratchett (and also Frank herbert): the characters are realistic and have real weaknesses. plus I love how Pratchett reflects modern-day affairs in his books like the liberal media that almost always takes the side of the underdog (right or wrong)

But I want to see some more Rincewind... thats why I'd love to play the original games
