By the time I got through to about Fifth Elephant into Night Watch into here, I knew that this was going to be pushing some of my favorite fantasy series out of the way.
Night Watch (2002)
One moment, Sir Sam Vimes is in his old patrolman form, chasing a sweet-talking psychopath across the rooftops of Ankh-Morpork. The next, he's lying naked in the street, having been sent back thirty years courtesy of a group of time-manipulating monks who won't leave well enough alone. This Discworld is a darker place that Vimes remembers too well, three decades before his title, fortune, beloved wife, and impending first child. Worse still, the murderer he's pursuing has been transported back also. Worst of all, it's the eve of a fabled street rebellion that needlessly destroyed more than a few good (and not so good) men. Sam Vimes knows his duty, and by changing history he might just save some worthwhile necks—though it could cost him his own personal future. Plus there's a chance to steer a novice watchman straight and teach him a valuable thing or three about policing, an impressionable young copper named Sam Vimes.

I really enjoyed Nightw Watch because it's so different from the other what six or seven books in this series. Don't get me wrong, like I like a lot of the City Watch, but I still think I still think a night watch is my favorite.
I didn't love the going back in time aspect of it.
