Terry Pratchett's Discworld series spans 41 novels across four decades. It looks intimidating. It isn't — if you know where to start. In this video I break down the 10 books I'd recommend to any new reader, covering every major sub-series and reading style. The 10 books covered in this video: • The Colour of Magic — the beginning of everything (and why it's not always the best first read) • The Wee Free Men — Tiffany Aching and the Nac Mac Feegle • Mort — Death's apprentice; the easiest entry into the Death sub-series • Wyrd Sisters — Granny Weatherwax at her scheming best • Going Postal — the ideal introduction to Ankh-Morpork • Night Watch — the Watch sub-series at its peak • Hogfather — Death, Susan, and a Discworld Christmas • Small Gods — standalone, brilliant, and the best starting point if you want philosophical weight • The Truth — Ankh-Morpork's first newspaper • Guards! Guards! — the first Watch novel and one of the most beloved entry points in the series 0:00 Introduction: Why Discworld Doesn't Have to Be Intimidating 1:50 #10: The Colour of Magic 3:09 #9: The Wee Free Men 4:06 #8: Mort 5:07 #7: Wyrd Sisters 6:35 #6: Going Postal 7:37 #5: Night Watch 9:18 #4: Hogfather 10:40 #3: Small Gods 12:13 #2: The Truth 13:17 #1: Guards!
