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.
