"Ever since The Lord of the Rings revitalized the genre, writers have played with it, reinvented it, subverted it and bent it to their times. It has also contained some of the very best, most accessible writing for children, by writers who seldom get the acknowledgment they deserve."
[His response to JK Rowling saying she wasn't aware that her Harry Potter books were fantasy until they were finished]: "I would have thought that the wizards, witches, trolls, unicorns, and hidden worlds would have given her a clue?"

aside from the aforementioned Good Omens, i've just finished book one of the Johnny Maxwell trilogy: Only You Can Save Mankind.
it was pretty good. even though it wasn't related to my beloved Discworld, it was still Terry Pratchett, and his writing style, and narrative voice are still the same regardless of the subject matter

Do you think any of Terry Pratchett's books will be adapted to the silver screen, or are they better left as books?

Sam Raimi is supposed to be directing a big-screen adaptation of The Wee Free Men after he finishes up with Spiderman 3...Aside from Terry Giliam, Sam raimi is about the only director i would trust with a Pratchett adaptation...i can't wait to see this
Wyrd Sisters & Soul Music were both animated features which were aired originally on (i think) BBC, and are currently available on DVD...they were good... but the books were infinately better.
Every few years net-rumors will pop-up about a Good Omens movie, but i don't believe anything's ever come of it
Pratchett's writing doesn't lend itself to film very well, because much of the wit is in his narrative style, and is subsequently lost when translated to a visual medium
...much like H2G2, when done right (original radio drama & BBC series) it is exquisitely hilarious, but when rushed (last summer's H2G2 movie) you can feel that there's a lot missing
