The titles are:
“Reaper Man”, “Small Gods”, “Wyrd Sisters”, “Moving Pictures”
Went to an adorable book shop and found these guys. I haven’t read Pratchett yet but I feel it’ll be right up my alley
I’m pretty sure I see “Small Gods” and “Wyrd Sisters” recommended a lot and I know you can’t really go wrong, but of these which would you recommend the most? Since this is what I have I’ll read them all eventually
Regardless I’m excited to have gotten physical copies because my library has long wait lists for his books
Edit: Thanks for all of the discussion! This post brought me a lot of positive on an otherwise rough day. I’ve decided to start with “Small Gods”
I just want to say again thank you to everyone who responded to me or to someone else. It’s been a joy hearing what each person has to contribute to the conversation
Even if they fall flat (which I highly doubt) all of your enthusiasm came through and that really in itself means so much. It was truly touching
Small Gods is my standard “so you’ve never read discworld” recommendation. It’s stand alone, his style is well in the groove, ymmv depending on how well you take some criticism of religion. All if them are great.
I’ve decided to start with this one! Gotten cozy under all my blankets and am listening to the rain patter on the roof. Thanks for the recommendation and helping my indecisiveness
You’re literally describing heaven, if such a place exists.
Every book in the discworld series is great. Here’s a reading order guide. Again, they’re all great on their own, but I did find that world building adds to the experience if you manage to follow the order somewhat.
Pyramids and Mort are two of my favourite books.
Jesus, has it been ten years since his death? Time flies.
I’ve only read the Colour of Magic. I’m playing through the first Discworld point and click, and I’ve got Guards Guards on my list.
IMHO The Colour of Magic, is his worst book. You are missing out, if it’s the only one you have read.
If new people ask me were to start, I always say choose either the watch or witches series. They an wonderful, the watch series has my favorite book (The Fifth Elephant), and the witches has my favorite character (Esmarelda Weatherwax).
