QUOTE(teongpeng @ Aug 7 2009, 07:07 PM) I'm intending to start exploring the Discoworld soon... Any idea which title to start with..thanks! Hmmm. There are many "sub" series of Discworld books, like the Rincewind tales, Witches, etc. Pls refer to following image:  But it's just a rough guide, my 1st Discworld books were Small Gods & Hogfather. Based on above, I suggest starting with the first 3 of either the City Watch books, Witches and/or Death books.

QUOTE(legolas1118 @ Jun 2 2010, 08:22 PM) Hey, i actually like Neil Gaiman's writings. Will i like Pratchett?  Try Good Omens, which was written by both of them. If you like it, you'll definitely like at least 75% Pratchett's stuff.

QUOTE(legolas1118 @ Jun 8 2010, 10:34 PM) Yup i read that, and i kinda liked it. Any nice titles from Pratchett to recommend?  Pretty much anywhere in the reading order diagram I posted earlier in the thread. Heck, you don't even have to follow that thing, my first Discworld books were Small Gods & Hogfather. But if you're a Gaiman fan, I suggest giving the Witches or Death sequences a try first, they have more overlap..

Just finished I Shall Wear Midnight, & read Unseen Academicals some time ago...
UA is actually very good, but is built on a lot of previous Discworld stories, despite having mostly new main characters.
ISWM, the "Young Adult" novel, is - like all of pTerry's YA books, darker in tone than the normal Discworld books. It's at best average as the story just doesn't seem to go anywhere.
