Hi folks! Want to start reading Terry Pratchett. Which book do I start with?
Mort
Will look it up. Thanks!
I personally started with the book Rincewind the Wizzard and loved it, but I’ve seen others suggest not starting with the first book in that. I loved it though. I also love his witch discworld books, with those you’d start with Equal Rites
Thanks a bunch! Will look them up.
Read whichever one looks most interesting to you. They don’t have to be in order. I agree with Janelle Maiwald ‘s suggestions too.
Perfect! Thanks a bunch!
The Colour of Magic is the first in the Discworld series.
That helps! Thanks!
(1) The Colour of Magic
(2) The Amazing Maurice and his educated rodents
Thanks a bunch @Vishy!!
If you Google, there is a map of the discworld books. The series is non-linear and has multiple entry points.
Will do. Thank you so very much!
Men at Arms – kept me in stitches for the flight from London to L.A. with a layover.
Sounds fantastic! Thanks a ton..!
The Colour of Magic is the first. You can really start almost anywhere. I have enjoyed all of them. Hope you do too
THe first one, Colour of Magic, is very amusing, but you don’t have to read them in order. THe ones about the witches are fun, I particularly like Witches Abroad.
Thanks a bunch for the reco!
I’d suggest the Mort series. Mort, The Reaper Man, Soul Music, Hogfather and the Thief of Time. It starts simple and gets more and more complex, so it allows you to get used to his style, jokes, subtleties, characters, etc. Also, I highly recommend you read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. You will probably love it! 🙂
I totally loved Good Omens!!! Enjoyed every bit!
Good Omens is fantastic.
Guards! Guards is the one I started with, and I never looked back 🙂
Mine was Wyrd Sisters, but Guards, Guards would have had the same effect.
The first one but you could choose a series within that interests you
Discworld series
The Wee Free Men!
