Discover Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, the beloved comic fantasy universe that’s brimming with wit, wisdom, and wonder. Start where it all began in the seminal novel The Color of Magic, which follows the misadventures of the inept wizard Rincewind as he serves as tour guide to Twoflower, Discworld's first-ever sightseer. The hapless duo’s journeys continue in The Light Fantastic and Sourcery, where the scale of world-threatening hazards (and accompanying absurdities) increase exponentially. You’ll get over 35 Discworld novels in all, touching all corners of this whimsical realm and all manner of its denizens, and you’ll help Room to Read with your purchase!

Me and some other Pratchett fans had this discussion last week and we concluded the "Going Postal" was the best entry into the series as by that point Pratchett had mastered his wit, and there's a movie to watch afterwards. Second place went to "Guards Guards" as the watch is easily one of the best arcs Discworld has to offer.

I read them in release order because I love seeing an author grow and master their craft. I also love seeing the "order" in which an author builds their world.

So do I, but I can see why someone would be put off the whole series after reading The Colour of Magic, so having some other books to recommend makes sense to me.

Going Postal is the second pratchett book I read and it has always been the book that flipped me from "curious reader" to "fan"

I've just picked up "Guards, Guards!" never having read any of the series. It's absolutely hilarious and I question myself why i haven't started earlier. This definitely won't be my last.
