I picked up The Colour of Magic after getting burnt out on the horror elements in last book of the Dark Forest series. I wanted something bright and colorful and fun. I looooooved it! I'm on book 15 now. If you're into audio books, the ones that are coming out now on Audible are incredible. Normally I hate when there is more than one narrator because it sounds like a bunch of people talking over walkie talkies, but with less chemistry. This isn't like that at all. It genuinely adds to the story (though it might take away from some of the puns, not seeing the written words).
Thank you for the suggestion! I will look into them, but in all honesty this isn't my first time reading them, I'm actually reading them with my partner at the moment because he hasn't read Discworld before and needs a little encouragement to read.
Ah, then you wouldn't need to see the puns written down to get them! Even better.
