Terry Pratchett Novels: The Disc World

Hey! Have you ever read anything written by Terry Pratchett? He is a really old and awesome writer! My opinion, of course.


He is the author of The Disc World Series. This series has so many books it is borderline ridiculous. It is honestly mind-boggling to me how this man has been able to make a complex world so easy to understand. Each book is a new adventure with new or familiar characters and I just love them all.


The continuation of the characters' stories really makes me a happy person. I get to meet so many characters and keep up with what happens to them next. I also enjoy when characters overlap from book to book. I just love how it is all put together. It truly is a book about the world (the Disc World, that is).


I do not own/have not read every book in the series, but I've read/own quite a few of them (they are listed in my "Favorite Books" section). I know enough about the series to know how amazing it is.


This series is so creative and although there are many round characters involved, the story remains easy to follow and you aren't bombarded with characters whose names you're bound to forget or get confused by later on.
I really hate when that happens, I think sometimes authors try too hard and end up messing everything up by having 20 characters introduced in the first chapter; HOW DO I FOLLOW ALL THOSE PEOPLE?! I don't. I generally stop reading. Especially when I notice when the author mixed up the characters (John was introduced as Stephen's brother, but suddenly he is a single child?).


But anyway, The Disc World is a wonderful series that anyone and everyone can read. You do not necessarily need to read the books in any specific order, but it is helpful. Chronology, although not completely necessary, is what I recommend. You can easily look up the order online. Or, if you're like me... just look inside the sleeve of the book. (The list on my profile is in order)


I have so much more to say about these books, but I feel like I should cut this off soon, plus I do not want to give away any spoilers! Here is a list of some of my favorite Disc World Novels, in no particular order:

• Small Gods
• Rincewind the Wizard
• Soul Music
• Feet of Clay
• The Fifth Elephant
• Truth
• The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents
• The Wee Free Men
• Monstrous Regiment
• A Hat Full of Sky
• Going Postal
• Wintersmith
• I Shall Wear Midnight

That is actually the short list, ha!
