I picked up my first Discworld book when I was 16 and never looked back. While initially a parody of classic fantasy tropes and books such as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Discworld eventually took on a life of its own, sprawling across different character arcs and locations. Set on a flat disc resting on the back of four elephants, who are, in turn, standing on a turtle travelling through the endless depths of space, it has become one of the most popular fantasy series of all time.
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series was born in 1983 with the publication of its flagship book, The Colour of Magic.
It’s quite a daunting thing to start reading a 41-book series, especially when the only rule is that you don’t start with the first book.
