Ask HN: Where to Start with Discworld?

2 pointsby Rant423almost 3 years ago
In every thread about books, Pratchett novels always come up.<p>With 41 books, the discussion about &quot;Reading order&quot; is of course often held.<p>Notably, I already looked at L-Space&#x27;s and Discworld Emporium&#x27;s.<p>But what does HN think about this?

I&#x27;m in a similar position, except I&#x27;ve already read The Colour of Money. And found it boring. The only cool part was when Death appeared for a page or two.<p>So I&#x27;m going to give the Discworld another shot with Mort. It&#x27;s third or so on my (fiction) reading stack. We&#x27;ll see how it goes.<p>But maybe Discworld simply isn&#x27;t for me. After all, I wasn&#x27;t fond of The Hitchhiker&#x27;s Guide to the Galaxy either.

Colour of Magic sets up the Disc, and how it works, after that you can do any of them.<p>Fundamentally do you like, wizards, witches, guards, death, or the chancer (moist Von lipwig) ?<p>I say this because the whole set is basically split up into those themes.<p>Personally, my favourite is Feet Of Clay.<p>However, if pinned down, I will always say, read them in the order they were published, as is true for all book sets.

I liked <i>Small Gods</i>, I didn&#x27;t feel like I was missing anything by reading that first. I haven&#x27;t read most of them.

All of the books start with a sort of recap, so I don&#x27;t think order matters all that much.

The books are so short and so easy to read, I don’t think it much matters. Several of them are consistently top-ranked. Choose one of them at random.
