Never Start With The First Discworld Book
I Think You Should NOT Start With The Colour Of Magic
Terry Pratchett is a wonderful, clever author, with devoted fans the world over, but at thirty seven books (not counting the Young Adult novels) it can be a daunting series for new readers to jump into. Add to that the diverse array of story threads, an evolving continuity as Pratchett developed the Discworld into a somewhat consistent storyline and a drastically changing and improving writing style, and you get a series which turns off many readers who try starting from the very first book.....

The Discworld Series and Other Books By Terry Pratchett
A Guide to the Discworld Series and Terry Pratchett's Writing
This page is an attempt to create a starting point for people interested in Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series and a compendium of the available material and reviews here on Squidoo. There's a terribly shocking lack of reviews here, so I've started by listing all the books, grouped in approximate subject order (e.g. Rincewind, The Witches of Lancre, Young Adult...) and where other lenses exist reviewing each book, I have included them. There are quite a few general lenses about ...

Unseen Academicals
The thing about football is, it's not about football
Unseen Academicals is the latest book from the wonderfully clever Terry Pratchett. I'm not at all sorry to say that this isn't a Rincewind or a Vimes or a De Worde book, although they all feature in it. Not at all sorry - because Unseen Academicals is Pratchett performing his favourite trick - creating new characters and letting them run loose.  In this book he's created a set of new characters, and focussed on the working class of Ankh-Morpork, as well as the academia of the Unse...

Terry Pratchett
Introducing Terry Pratchett
Terry Pratchett has crafted an amazing and bizarre universe. Discworld he calls it. It's certainly not from any plane of existence I've ever visited. It's Tolkiens Middle Earth meets a world of sarcastic wit. For the uninitiated it can be a daunting task to immerse yourself the first time into Pratchett's vivid imagination. After reading most, though not all of his Discworld series of novels I would suggest one of the most recent as an excellent starting point: Going Postal.

Small Gods Review
Small Gods the 13th Discworld Novel
Small Gods is the thirteenth discworld novel written by Terry Pratchett. Small gods was written in 1992 and it is about the Great God Om and his only remaining worshipper. It is a very cleverly written novel full of the usual surreal events expected in a discworld novel. Small Gods takes a close look at the way religion works on the discworld and shows that the Gods may be all powerful but even they have problems such as being reduced to wandering the world trapped in the form of a tortoise ...
