    Advice sought. I've been reading #TerryPratchett #DiscWorld books in order starting with book one, The Color Of Magic. If you're a Discworld fan, you know The Color Of Magic is a "Wizards" book

    Just finishing up book six, Wyrd Sisters. (A "Witches" book.)

    Book seven, the next one, is considered a "Standalone", Pyramids. Are there shy characters in the previous books at all?

    Book eight, "Guards! Guards!" Is a "City Watch" book. I understand there are characters in that book I've already encountered.

    I'm tempted to jump there. Unless there are some character appearances or some other tie-ins, regardless of how trivial, in Pyramids further on.

    Argh! (Help)

    @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 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 πŸ˜‚

                  @GreenSkyOverMe That's a good idea. Have to think about that before finding one of those. Can't imagine there are spoilers hiding among the maps, but I'll tread carefully when looking.

                  @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.

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