Going Postal - The best Pratchett ever?

Terry Pratchett is my all time favourite writer. He's stories about the Discworld are brilliant. The characters are really funny and the stories captivating. Pratchett finds humour in every day things that we don't think about. I guess he's writing genre can be characterized as fantasy parody.

If you've been reading the usual high fantasy novels (Eddings, Tolkien, and the like) then Pratchett is a must read for you. Or if you like Douglas Adam's Scifi parodies then this is the fantasy equivalent to them, well sort of at least.

At the moment I'm reading Terry Pratchett's Going Postal which tells about a guy who ends ups trying to revive the post office of Ankh-Morpork. I've had hard time putting the book down since the story is really good. In my opinion this is probably the best Pratchett I've read and I've read almost all of them. Highly recommended for any fan of humorous literature or anyone fed up with the normal fantasy books.
