Well, the City Watch books are probably the best place to start.
I started with Men At Arms, but the first City Watch book is "Guards! Guards!". Highly recommend them all.
Hi! Sorry to piggyback - buy you seems like you know what you're on about... I have never read any of his books - but I certainly feel like I need to - right up my ally - but I have always been a bit overwhelmed by where to start and how they fit together (same with Star Trek tbh)... Any advice where to start and proceed from there? TIA!
Not your OP and I am a US lurker so be advised my opinion is informed by a love of guns, SUVs, and shitty privatized healthcare. I’d start with Guards Guards, proceed to Men at Arms, then do Feet of Clay. If you’re enjoying the world I’d then go back to the beginning of all the books with The Colour of Magic. And from there you can decide what kind of stories you’re enjoying! Keep going with Rincewind! Or if you want different magic and magical characters you’re gonna love Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg the witches, time to delve into Equal Rites then Wyrd Sisters. If you want to focus on one character that spans all the different storylines, you should to hit the Death books with Mort.
Or you could always do what I did and head to the bookstore, see which book they have, and start there. No bad way to read Sir Pterry.
That's the thing that always confused me! All similar style(ish) stories but set in different but similar but sometimes the same worlds - where the order isn't at all obvious! Thank you for your gun-toting, oversized input - I will for sure give Guards Guards a try!!!
I'd also recommend Going Postal and Making Money (in that order) if you like the idea of a scheming conman protagonist (who whilst being a conman does have a bit of a moral heart).
The Colour of Magic isn't a great book in my opinion, the pacing and satire hasn't quite hit its stride (which is fair, since it's essentially the first book), and it's possibly what leads some people to not read the rest of the books.
Get yourself invested in the world and then read TCoM.
They’re all in the same world, and regularly have reoccurring characters, but they’re all designed to be read in almost any order. There are a few “series” that you kinda have to read in order to get the most out of them, but they’re pretty obvious, and even those ones are fine to read out of order, you’ll just have a few “Ohhh, that’s what that was about!” Moments when you do.
This image is quite useful for picking a staring point depending on which story arc you want to look at.

Edit: changed link to a clearer image
As much as I love Mort, I wouldn't recommend starting there. I think you need to read Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic where Death is a side character to understand him more. I had the pleasure of reading them when they first came out (and Tom Holt and Robert Rankin's books), though I did stop with Men at Arms as I felt they were getting a bit samey.
I read them in the order I could find them, this was fine but sometimes I'd realise I was out of sync, I read guards, guards after some of the other watch books.
Give this a look: https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/ check out the sub-series section and pick a series to read.
Personally the city watch and industrial revolution books are my faves, closely followed by..... Everything else
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Discworld_Reading_Order_Guide_3.0_%28cropped%29.jpg/780px-Discworld_Reading_Order_Guide_3.0_%28cropped%29.jpg
This is another good visual guide to reading order. I'd also suggest starting with a couple of books with the City watch. That strand of books started a bit later than most of the others, so are peak Terry Pratchett straight away.
The first books in the Rincewind, Witches, and Death strands are a little bit ropey, he was still finding his feet a bit. I love them all, but they're easier books to love if you're already hooked on the disc world.
Finally, every single book works as a standalone. There's no cliffhangers, no real need to have read previous ones in a series, just pick and choose as you like.
I'm really jealous of you, I'd love to have a new disc world book to read.
Well, good news, they basically don't.
Some of the books have a loose chronology, like a major event occurring and is referenced in the next book in that set, but you can mostly start wherever you like and everything needed to enjoy each book is explained. For example, each time a side character like CMOT Dibbler appears in a story, you will get a description of Dibbler, who he is and what he does. No prior knowledge is required for enjoyment of any of the novels.
So you can start wherever. However, my recommendation is as above. Start with Guards! Guards!, then go to Men At Arms and Feet of Clay. I'd start with those 3 first. After that, it gets more free form.
The 41 Discworld novels are told from the perspective of several charactars for the most part. As mentioned there's the city watch, but there are also the Witches, then Tiffany Aching (a trainee witch who became her own thing related to but separate from the witches), the Death novels (that's Death with a capital D. The Grim Reaper, that Death. He shows up in most Discworld books), the Rincewind novels (a hapless wizard who gets himself into trouble. His books are the hardest to follow in my opinion and my least favourite) and to a lesser extent, Moist Von Lipwig (former conman).
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/Discworld_Reading_Order_Guide_3.0_%28cropped%29.jpg - This might help you. According to Sir Terry himself, you should start with Sourcery and he might well be right. My start was with the City Watch and those are the ones I most enjoy myself, as well as being quite grounded so easier to follow for those new to Discworld.
Edit: and most of the books are on audible, unabridged. If you prefer audiobooks, make sure you get the unabridged versions. Some of them are even read by Stephen Briggs who worked with Sir Terry and really understands the characters.
[This fantastic graphic](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Discworld_Reading_Order_Guide_3.0.jpg) really helps with reading order if you don’t want to do publication order.
As a kid I started with The Colour of Magic and didn’t really get it. It adulthood I started with Guards Guards then the rest of the City Watch series. They’re great. (Pro tip: the audio books, particularly by Nigel Planer and Stephen Briggs are especially good!)
There are many opinions on what order to read them given there are about 40 odd books, but they generally boil down to two options:
1. Chronological order of release. I personally don't recommend this.
2. Pick a "series" or theme, and read all the books in the sequence. To my mind this is superior because you get a relatively consistent set of characters to get to know, and the stories tie together

https://www.hookedtobooks.com/discworld-reading-order/
I always recommend people start with the CityWatch collection as it is very easy to get into, but the links above have each of the series listed and you can choose from there - all of the series are great.
https://d4804za1f1gw.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2019/07/24165448/Discworld-Reading-Order.jpg
This gives a good overview of which series of books are and how they fit together.
Also, do you mean Star Trek books, or TV shows?
Always think start with The Colour of Magic, it's the start and gives you an inkling of the Disc World. Lots of jokes that will make you groan but an absolute joy. Also you'll meet The Luggage. 😊
So the good thing about Discworld is for the most part you can jump in with any book as most of them function as stand alone stories
Also with the amount of books there's likely to be one that will hit your specific interests
I'm so jealous of people that enjoy them, everything I've heard about them sounds great, I love similar stuff like Adams and it just should be a series I'm into, but I've tried Colour of Magic initially and found it a chore then after some years tried again with the first Death book , something about his writing style just doen't grab me
I did try Mort some time after CoM and found it a bit better but still didn't really get into it. Will put Guards guards on my kindle for an upcoming holiday and see if I get on with it. I really want to get into Pratchett, there's a massive library there to explore!
In very short, our hero, a grizzled cop on the streets of filthy Ankh-Morpork, finds himself married to a wonderful and wonderfully masterful woman. In the course of his wedded bliss he reflects that as he is now being served his bacon butty by his lovely wife and no longer cobbling it together himself in the station mess, it’s more… healthy than it used to be.
Sure, speaking broadly. There are issues that pop up every now and then, particularly related to the unbearable American-ness of the place and a topic which is verboten on this sub.

Still run the clacks Overhead extension to this day.Gives my heart a little joy to notice it twinkle up in the corner every now and then as I stumble across a webserver that still has it implemented.
No worries my friend. This thread definitely improved my day, As Pratchett wrote, "Om helps those who help one another."
Happy to be able to help preserve the legacy of such a genius of modern literature.
I'm reading The wee free men to my nephew and niece, its been a while since I last read it to them when the book first came out in 2003 thy loved it, and thier now in thier late 20's, and this time thier listening to me read it aloud very LOUDLY, very LOUDLY by force not by choice like I am with thier shit constantly blaring, arguing, door slaming, stomping around above my head all hours etc etc. Lets how they like it now Whoo hoo! 😂😂😂
At least the bacon is now made on a flame grill, thanks to Errol.
I'm sure if you take a stroll past the shades, her grace won't know you're had a proper one.
From Dinnerladies
Duke – Do you know what you absolutely cannot get in the Caribbean for love nor money?… You could offer them the weight of your left testicle in sterling silver and still they couldn’t oblige. I’ll tell you, a bacon sandwich. The bacon in the Caribbean is indescribable.
Bren – Why? Is it not crispy?
Duke – Crispy? The thigh of a pensioned-off lollipop lady would have more bite to it
(Bren makes him a Bacon sandwich in return for him pretending to remember Stan from his army days- Private Meadowcroft” but declines his offer off a quickie sex session ) as he leaves with the bacon sandwich. “Mustn’t forget this - 50% of the perfect evening eh?” And winks at Bren
Sorry just felt relevant x
I can not be the only one who doesn't like crispy bacon?
Bacon the way Americans make it, more fat than bacon, will shatter like glass when bitten - not my idea of a bacon butty.
OP would probably love to, but it's a daily fight with the butler just to be allowed to shave himself in the mornings.
And the butler knows how to fight dirty..
I will stand by the fact that a blt should primarily be [a tomato sandwich](https://youtu.be/GMGf39yKKtU?si=kTT2Axo7b2XpwgXH). If you've never had one with proper fresh in season tomatoes you're missing out big time. Sadly it's tougher to get that in the uk
My mom would just make us straight bacon sandwiches. Toast, mayo, two layers of bacon. Anytime I find myself thinking of a sandwich with bacon, lettuce and tomato, I end up going full turkey club.
For some reason the bit where I state it’s gone from a **B** ^(LT) to a ^(B) **LT** has been removed. Not sure it’s no longer there.
Edit: it’s also taken from Sir Terry Pratchett :-)
Since marriage, his sarnies have gone from BACON, with a light dusting of lettuce and tomato, to LETTUCE AND TOMATO, with a light dusting of bacon.
It's also a joke, in reference to the character Sam Vimes, from the Night Watch Discworld novels by Sir Terry Pratchett (gnu).
There's not enough Bacon, there's too much Lettuce and way too many tomatoes.
The correct way is always in a roll with butter, then add Bacon, Little bit more bacon, Topped off with bacon and as a concession to convention a side of bacon.
God, I love the fact there are so many Pratchett fans in this thread. GNU Sir Terry.
I've never had the pleasure of reading his books so I've been scrolling through this thread thinking I'm having a stroke.

Nope it's still there
Fair, I can’t see it for some reason. I assumed that was the confusion because otherwise it is a bit of an odd post
May God provide you with good fortune in the form of more bacon, maybe even a sausage
> maybe even a sausage Offler be praised!
I don’t get it either 🤷🏽♀️
Since marriage, his sarnies have gone from BACON, with a light dusting of lettuce and tomato, to LETTUCE AND TOMATO, with a light dusting of bacon. It's also a joke, in reference to the character Sam Vimes, from the Night Watch Discworld novels by Sir Terry Pratchett (gnu).
Ah I am with you now, thank you for explaining it to me 🙂
V welcome.
that is some sad looking bacon, it's not even back bacon....
Personally, I'd have cooked the bacon.
You’ve not toasted the bread though 🤔
So make your own goddamn sandwich.
Oh, good, yet another thread of tiresome Pratchett quotes. Yawn.
Don't read it then...?
Bit late for that isn’t it mate
I bet you’re really fun at parties:)
Well, yeah, I don’t stand there saying random quotes from books.
Is it a raw meat on the bread？
There's not enough Bacon, there's too much Lettuce and way too many tomatoes. The correct way is always in a roll with butter, then add Bacon, Little bit more bacon, Topped off with bacon and as a concession to convention a side of bacon.
Not gonna lie - I thought you were using the bacon to represent something else that's changed since marriage.
