my beloved diskworld submitted by ferdoble on August 11, 2011, 3:48pm To describe Terry Pratchett’s books is a difficult thing to do. The disc world series is in a word fantastic. Terry Pratchett, would seem to use the disk world, to take any theme, or know story and then twist it in his own very humorous way. These are not always laugh out loud funny (sometimes they are), bur rather the sort of funny that just sort of lifts your spirits a little bit.

I will say that in some cases there isn’t always a really strong story, sometimes its just his characters moving through one of those twisted themes. I like them all, you may want to start with the Most Von Lipwig story line (“Going Postal” and then “making money”) as at least the first one has a really great story line.

I love to pepper my reading queue with these books to keep all those books that take themselves seriously fresh and interesting.

I recommend reading them ALL.

OR listening to them. The two main narrators of Terry Pratchett’s books are Stephen Briggs & Nigel Planer and they take Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal writing to a whole new level.

Continued adventures of Rincewind submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 11, 2012, 7:28pm In his second Discworld book, Sir Terry Pratchett continues the adventures of Rincewind, a loveable loser who has studied magic for years but still cannot master more than one spell. He has, however, mastered the art of running away from danger, which has served him well over the years. Pratchett continues Rincewind's and other wizards' adventures in many other novels, including "Sourcery."
Continue your immersion into the Discworld (so called because the planet is actually a flat disc sitting atop four elephants who, in turn, stand on the back of a giant turtle) with this book to get the best grounding in this beloved series.
A British company adapted these first two Rincewind novels into the made-for-TV movie "Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic." Pratchett has a small cameo at the end of the movie.

Rincewind submitted by unknown on August 10, 2013, 9:37pm I think maybe I should have read the first Rincewind book first?

Funny, entertaining, surprisingly emotional submitted by mislem on July 20, 2023, 8:29am This novel continues the story from The Color of Magic, and is even funnier than the first book. Come for Rincewind and Twoflower, stay for Cohen the Barabarian.
