Discover Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, the beloved comic fantasy universe that’s brimming with wit, wisdom, and wonder. Start where it all began in the seminal novel The Color of Magic, which follows the misadventures of the inept wizard Rincewind as he serves as tour guide to Twoflower, Discworld's first-ever sightseer. The hapless duo’s journeys continue in The Light Fantastic and Sourcery, where the scale of world-threatening hazards (and accompanying absurdities) increase exponentially. You’ll get over 35 Discworld novels in all, touching all corners of this whimsical realm and all manner of its denizens, and you’ll help Room to Read with your purchase!

It depends on your tastes. I started with equal rites and wasn’t disappointed. Don’t start with I Shall Wear Midnight though. There are a lot of excellent places to start and that just isn’t one of them.
Seriously though, Mort, Guards Guards, Pyramids, Going Postal, Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, or The Colour of Magic.
Actually no. Small Gods. Nobody was ever disappointed by Small Gods. It’s a one off. It’s funny and clever and makes you think. It’s not his best by any means but it’s around where he hit his stride. It’s chronologically separated. Read Small Gods, it’s excellent.
I love small gods and nobody ever talks about it
The turtle moves!
The problem Small Gods faces is that books like the thief of time, raising steam, late watch books, and everything with Tiffany Aching exist. It’s around where he hit his stride, but it doesn’t leave you sobbing like I Shall Wear Midnight or The Shepherds Crown. It’s somewhere in the middle of an excellent series. I don’t want to recommend the best when someone starts, but I want to recommend something that will get people to stick through sourcery and such.
But yeah I do love it
