my beloved diskworld submitted by ferdoble on August 11, 2011, 3:47pm 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.

They really are all great submitted by dimuziom on June 28, 2013, 5:48pm One would think that, after a while, Terry Pratchett would run out of ways to combine comedy, fantasy, and biting social commentary, but it does not seem to be the case. In this book the familiar Rincewind returns as the unlikely, and to some degree unwilling, hero standing in the way of a new hegemony of magic. The central plot focuses on the nature of power, and human nature in general, but other topics (such as sexism, living in the shadow of one's father, and others) are also handled with the same deft mixture of jocularity and gravitas that only Mr. Pratchett can convincingly pull off. As the above commenter notes...just read them. Read them all.
