@pronounshe it does feel vaguely familiar it might have been when you first started reading them and I made a comment about Guards, Guards! I tend to if there's a Pratchett topic :3

[lemlems@mastodon.social]

@pronounshe If you’ve decided to read them in order, I’d recommend sticking to that and not skipping ahead.

Not necessarily because of recurring characters cropping up (I can’t remember if any do in Pyramids) but because Pratchett gradually introduces you to different aspects of how the Discworld works - and the Discworld itself develops and changes - as the books go on

[pronounshe@lgbtqia.space]

@Lemlems Nice! Thank you for the insight. I did end up going with Pyramids. @ravensrod suggested that as a matter of world building. And going in order really satisfies my desire for order in general.

@pronounshe The books are fairly stand alone and I don't think there is a clear reading order, I've seen a lot of diffrent suggestions over the years but if you want some expert advive I'd have a look here: https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/

@pronounshe they, the books, are great in any sequence. If you read them in the published order, you follow pTerrys mind in making them

@NickEast_IndieWriter Thank you. No spoilers?

[nickeast_indiewriter@mastodon.art]

@pronounshe I don't think so

[pronounshe@lgbtqia.space]

@NickEast_IndieWriter Hehe, okay. Thank you, Nick.

@NickEast_IndieWriter That quiz was fun. The first time it recommended a witches book. I was too tickled to remember which one, though.

The second time through it gave me The Color Of Magic. Which is the book I started with.

Thanks again for the link. It's a cute site.

@pronounshe I started with the order of published, but a lot of people recommend reading by gang, wizards and witches and so on... But I think perhaps because I started with the wizards they're still my favourites, but the withes are great too, then comes Moist Von Lipwig who I assumes drools a lot since his name basically tells us his moustache is wet

@pronounshe @GreenSkyOverMe I don't believe there to be any spoilers here. This reading order map is very useful.

@pronounshe "Pyramids" was enormous fun IMO. I wish it *hadn't* been a standalone.

[pronounshe@lgbtqia.space]

@cstross Yeah, it's real fun. I haven't had a lot of time to read in the last few days, but pyramids.
