Re: Discworld

Wyrd Sisters or Guards, Guards. Those are both still early, but more recognizably what Discworld would become. Mort is also great. And each of these 3 is the start of a "series" within Discworld: WD is the Lancre witches; Guards, Guards is Ankh-Morpork and the watch; Mort is the Death books. So they're all goods ways in, with logical next books to read if you enjoy them.

About 10 people are going to rec Small Gods, but I didn't like it--I think it's weirdly preachy for a book that's about not being preachy. However, YMMV. It's a stand-alone and so some people argue it's a better introduction, but any of the other books I recommended can be read perfectly well without any previous Discworld knowledge.

I think the shine has come off Small Gods a little compared to the 90s/00s - it's aged a little weirdly. It's still a good book IMO but it doesn't seem as important and emotional as it did way back when.

Heh I didn’t see your comment until after I recced it but tbh this thread is the first I’ve ever heard of any Discworld fans supposedly loving it. It’s just not a very Discworld book while still including all the lore from it. Fans weren’t happy when it came out and even today it gets trashed in fandom spaces constantly. It’s also the most popular Discworld book for people who don’t like the most popular storylines, which is why I recommended it. I wish I’d ever encountered the parts of the fandom that supposedly revered it because it was and is the best book he ever wrote.
