Expresses the exceeding size of one's library.
Books are extremely many, loaded on an oxcart the ox will sweat.
At home piled to the ridgepole of the house, from this meaning.

I really do wish I remembered more of the books that I read.
I'll vote Hogfather, if only because "She opened her eyes. And then she opened her eyes." was a great moment.

It's a book series by Terry Pratchett set on a disc-shaped earth resting on the backs of four elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle.
I recommend it.
That's weird.
I heard of RINGworld (never read it) because of Halo, but not DISCworld.

Damnit man, way to make a Sophie's Choice.
As great as all the series are, I always thought the strongest stories came from stand alone books. Small Gods, Monstrous Regiment, The Truth. And orbital turtle drop beats out a squad of socks. Going Postal was pretty good too.

I've only read the first handful of so, and I don't remember them that well, so I should disqualify myself from voting the best one.
But Mort was great.
shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
The Death series only gets better, at least I believe Reaper Man and Hogfather are among some of the best
Oh that's not the book I was thinking of, I'll have to change my vote.
Very tough decision here, but I'm gonna go with Going Postal.
Oof, then you missed out on the best.
I honestly can't decide. Vimes, Moist, Tiffany & the witches, Death, they're all great.

Bookshop I was getting them in once a week changed owners and the new one was an asshole, sadly.

I picked up my set one summer when the big chain bookstore had a buy 2 get 1 deal on paperbacks.
That was also how I got a bunch of my classics collection, since sometimes I'd have a free book on deck and figure why not pick up Dracula/the Illiad/Frankenstein.

Zero votes for Soul Music and Men at Arms? Zero votes for *Reaper Man*?! I am all astonishment.
There's 10 votes and like 40 books. I'm actually surprised we have any doubles.

Yes, but it's *Reaper Man*.
(Don't mind me, I just love the aforementioned novels. :-) Last Hero won out, but only by a tiny bit!)
