Put them in A Hat Full of Sky and pick them out randomly.WebGuards Guards, Wyrd Sisters, Small Gods, Reaper Man and The Truth. Read all the novels except 13 – Small Gods. Finally, 34 – Thud! If you really want to be pedantic about this way start with 0 – Strata which isn’t really a Discworld novel but you can see Pratchett’s first ideas forming about a flat disc world. Then 8 – Guards! Guards! Then 13 – Small Gods. Read 1 – The Colour of Magic (UK) then read The Color of Magic (US) The Fibonacci Way For added spoiler enjoyment you could read 23 – Carpe Jugulum next to spoil your enjoyment of the Witches series of books within the Discworld and don’t forget 37 – Unseen Academicals to get that overall ‘I wish I hadn’t’ feeling concerning Rincewind and the Wizards series. Read 40 – Raising Steam first and find out what happens to most of the characters throughout the series. Similar to the Elitist Way, but you only read up until number 21 – Jingo before ‘Our Terry’ became part of the ruling classes. Simply because Pratchett was knighted in 1998 and only books written by a ‘Sir’ are good enough for you! The rest are for commoners.
You only read the books from number 22 – The Last Continent onwards. Combined with this approach is the ‘you can use the prison library way’ because if you choose this method you don’t belong on Reading Addicts you belong in jail, because authors deserve to be paid. Obviously, you are restricted on the order in which you read them because it depends which ones you can reach when the assistant has their back turned. Yes they do have a list for that kind of thing. Terry Pratchett’s books were the most stolen novels a few years back. This way you don’t get to read them in any particular order but it is cheaper (he wrote 40 you know). They always seem to have them dotted around the place, but grab them quick, they sell. Visit all your local charity shops and buy whatever Discworld novels they have.
Here are a few alternative orders to read these wonderful books. But what about the more adventurous amongst us? Those crazy cats who just love to mix up things a bit.
Okay so there you go that’s the chronological order. Raising Steam Terry Pratchett Novels – US Terry Pratchett Novels – UK The Amazing Maurice & His Educated RodentsĤ0. I’ll start with the recommended chronological order.Ģ8. So I’ve composed a couple of suggestions on how to read them. It seems Pratchett fans all have their own ideas on what order is best. Our friend Campbell McAulay suggests Wyrd Sisters or The Wee Free Men (for young Adults). I always tell people to read Guards! Guards! first to get a real taste of Pratchett. A lot of people have been asking which Discworld novels they should read and in which order.
