I'm 27 and finally catching on to the Discworld

So far I've read Sorcery, Mort and Pyramids.

Pyramids was the best of those three with Mort not close behind. Didn't quite enjoy Sorcery as much, not sure why though.

Tonight I start Wyrd Sisters, and will then read the rest in order. Is this a good idea?

Hi SwordfishTrombone, is there a reason why you missed out the 1st three, The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic and Equal Rights, but it would be Ok to do that as you suggested.

Welcome SwordfishTrombone.
Reading them in order is not necessary story wise.Most books can be read on their own, but I prefer to read them in their order to see how the characters change as people and the background of the things they have been though up till that point.

Welcome from me too!

Reading them in order is absolutely not necessary, but reading them in a completely random order would certainly confuse me.

I did each story arc in order. Snuff goes after Where's My Cow.

WELCOME Swordfish Trombone,
Regarding Sourcery, I think Terry might have been warming up for the Discworld as we read it today. The books get better (except for Monstrous Regiment which is one of my not-favourites!) but at least Rincewind was in it!

Greetings and welcome glad you have seen the light and discover the awesome world that is the Discworld.

[SpyViolette]

Welcome! I'm fairly new as well.

Personally I prefer to read them in story order rather than publication order. I'm nearly finished with the Watch series, and then I plan to start the Death books. But of course it's up to you. That's just how I like to do it.

Pyramids was the best of those three .........

Oh Pooh, where art thou?

Welcome SwordfishTrombone,

BTW, Pooh was our resident Pyramids lover.

Welcome.

You'll love all the books on the Watch and I find it's easier to understand and enjoy reading those ones in order as certain characters change.

Don't forget to read Small Gods tho - best book out there IMHO

Hellooo and welcome Swordfish.

Personally, I would recommend reading the books in order. That way you get to see the way the World, and Sir Terry's style, evolves over the years.
