    • Yes
    • The Color of Magic, decades ago when I was in high school.
    • It varies, often it’s whichever one I just finished. Going Postal and Small Gods are always good.

    The fifth elephant. It actually made me read through all the other Rincewind books and then everything else I could find by Mr Pratchett. Loved his world building.

    First is hard to remember, but was probably The Color of Magic which delayed my reading of his other books for a time. It’s not bad, but didn’t grab me like the later books did. Favorite is hard to pick. The Last Continent, Monstrous Regiment, and Guards! Guards! are all great.

    How, with such a breadth of outstanding novels, am I supposed to pick a favourite?

    I also can’t remember which is my first, a family friend lent us everything up to The Last Continent in one go, and I read them all in a completely random order.

      As a child my first introduction to Terry Pratchett was the wee free men as an audiobook, and then a few years later some kind person recommended Mort to me, which I loved. It took me a while to figure out that my beloved childhood Tiffany Aching books were the same as the new Discworld series that I had discovered.
