Note, the entire Discworld series was essentially one decades long crowning moment of awesomeness for Terry Pratchett himself. The man had a rare form of Alzheimers and was still able to write books like the Discworld series. Upon being made a knight, the man made his own freaking sword, out of ''meteor'' metal, just because he wanted one. He even prepared for euthanasia in the most sensible way ever seen. The Discworld books ARE a crowning moment of awesome purely for having been written by this guy.

** That's nothing. He set Pi equal to three. [[AlienGeometries Successfully]]. And no, it wasn't an estimate or an approximation. He made it so that the constant Pi was actually three.

Terry Pratchett's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels have have more [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments Of Awesome]] per book than some series do in their entirety. All of the main characters, most of the recurring minor characters, and a good number of the villains have ''at least'' one of these. [[OncePerEpisode Per book]].

Note, the entire Discworld series is essentially one decades long crowning moment of awesomeness for Terry Pratchett himself. The man has a rare form of Alzheimers and is still able to write books like the Discworld series. Upon being made a knight, the man made his own freaking sword, out of ''meteor'' metal, just because he wanted one. He's even taken precautions for euthanasia in the most sensible way ever seen. The discworld books ARE a crowning moment of awesome purely for having been written by this guy.

To expand: the first book was published in 1983, so he has been writing the ''Discworld'' series for ''thirty'' years. In this time he has written 37 ''Discworld'' books proper (including the four Younger Readers books), helped with the writing of twelve Other Books About the Discworld, four Discworld Map(p)s, ten or so other Non-''Discworld'' books (this does not count those books written ''before'' the publication of ''The Colour of Magic'', ''plus'' presumably helping with the games, the film and cartoon adaptations of books, the plays and ''every other'' thing to do with the ''Discworld'' series). So, that's sixty-three books/compendia, and everything else in only twenty-nine years. ''One man!'' (with occasional assists). '''Warning: unmarked spoilers may be present.''' Now reworked into folders so people who haven't read every book can look at this page without fear of spoilers.
