I, on the other hand, am enjoying reading Discworld for the first time, starting with The Colour of Magic in the order they were written. I like the sense of seeing the world aand Terry's writing evolve as well. I also like having a break from some characters and cheering when they come back, unlike reading their books all in one go.
Here is a list in the order that i am reading, in which they were written - also shows year of release in characters involved. Hope this helps.
