I do like The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic still because it's where it all started for me, but the stories definitely get better the more of them you read.Malhttp://www.terrypratchettbooks.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-10860644743354192662009-08-24T05:00:33.737-06:002009-08-24T05:00:33.737-06:00This is my favourite Pratchett series and I hope y...This is my favourite Pratchett series and I hope you keep reading as they get even better.

I like how you said, "surprisingly insightful" - that's what I keep telling people :P The man is hilarious, yes, but there's so much more to it than that. He's also sensitive and perceptive, and he knows more about how people work than any other writer I can think of.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-880058810634314622009-08-17T00:37:35.892-06:002009-08-17T00:37:35.892-06:00Gee, I got all wrapped up in sharing information I...Gee, I got all wrapped up in sharing information I forgot to mention how glad I am that you've dipped into the Discworld water.

Later I bought an illustrated copy.<br /><br />There's a website that shows all but the latest novels in a fun way:<br /><br />http://www.lspace.org/books/reading-order-guides/index.html<br /><br />I like the excel spreadsheet. The beauty of the Discworld is that each book is really a stand alone novel (except for the first 2). You can read them in any order and not miss out on the story. I've read several and find that to be true. The chart really indicates the character(s) that are the most dominant in the book, but that doesn't mean you won't see that character in other books.<br /><br />The spreadsheet was prepared by a fan of Discworld and not by Terry Pratchett. Also, the spreadsheet doesn't follow the same order that the books were written. If you're interested in the chronological order you can find it on Wikipedia.<br /><br />You've put me in the mood to read another Pratchett.
