    So I heard PTerry recently say that there are 34 books in the Discworld series, as he includes the 3 children's books based on Discworld.
    But what do YOU think?

    Are there 34,
    31 (the children's books shouldn't count as being in the main series),
    30 (The Last Hero doesn't count),
    or 29 (neither The Last Hero nor Eric count)

    34. The children's books are there, they are set in the Discworld, and I don't see any reason to ignore them.

    Yes, that's what I think too. Also, he wrote them, so whatever he says the order is, then he's right!

    Eric, the Last Hero, and the children's books are demonstrably books, and certainly set in Discworld. Therefore, they are Discworld Books. End of discussion.

    Apparently Ba's word IS the last word.

    But Ba's last word is 'discussion'.

    Discuss.

    Well, if a concussion is when you get hit on the head and get jacked up.

    Perhaps a discussion is when you get hit on the head and feel better.

    *Hits Brad on the head to test this theory*

    If PTerry says there are 34 books in the series, do we even need Ba's proofs - if PTerry doesn't know - who does?
