Which Discworld character would you most like to be?
Would you want to be a CMOT Dibbler or a Vetinari? Nanny Ogg or Lady Sybil?
I'm going with Carrot Ironfounderson.

It might have to be Angua. She does get to shag Carrot after all 
But I love the sheer joy for life Nanny Ogg has. And wouldn't it be great to let your beard grow and embrace it like Cherry Littlebottom. Too many great characters to choose from  |

There's times when I feel like Rincewind but the two characters I'm drawn to are Vimes and Lipwig Von Moist.
On balance I'd prefer von Moist (fnar fnar) as he's married to Adora Belle Dearheart, aka Spike. |

Well .... that was unexpected  
Nany is fantastic - I love the way her joy for life doesn't take away from a very sharp mind.

Very different people. I'm not sure I have the iron self control to be Vimes or the way with people to be Moist though I envy both characteristics. |

"When I read the books my teenage years I thought I was like Tiffany Aching.
Though I desperately wanted to be Theda Withel aka Ginger "
I like Tiffany a lot. She has many of the character traits I admire. |

"This is a bloody tough question.
When I was younger I would have said Carrot. Now I'd probably say Vimes.
Or Cohen The Barbarian
Or Nanny Ogg
Or Grebo
Or Moist
Or Ridcully"

The money and the cast iron belief that everything will be OK are both enviable.

I'm not sure I have the characteristics of either of them. Perhaps that's why I'm drawn to them. |

In addition, I've just got Sourcery on Kindle for a quid and rekindled (ha!) my love for it all over again. Looks like I'm starting over."
I'm having a re-listen again too - i forget the sheer range of his stories.
Is your sex life as uncomplicated as Gaspode's?

Hmm, not convinced that a shapeless leather sack covered in red fur is an accurate description. I do admire your dedication to remaining an ape though - got to be better than being human. |

Or the body of Carrot!!! "
The body of Carrot would be nice but I also like his nature. Someone who is honest to the point of seeming simple but definitely not.

I wish I could pretend to be a Vimes, but realistically Ridcully is more my vibe. Wandering the woods complaining at things. Occasionally shouting at them. Fondly keeping a tiny painting of Esme Weatherwax under my hat (right beside the small flask of scumble …) |
