Q. Should Discworld be read in order?
No you don’t need to read them in order BUT you should reach each characters storyline in order. I.e, read the Rincewind books or Sam Vimes stories in order.
Q. What age group are Terry Pratchett books?
It works perfectly – until their little con game is sussed. Ages 8+.
Q. What Discworld book should I read first?
The first one you come across is a good place to start. On a side note my cousin and I found out years later that we had a shared passion for discworld. He said he loved it so much he’d given one to our grandmother to read. I started at the very beginning with The Colour of Magic.
Q. What age is Discworld for?
At aged twelve a reader would miss out on most, if not all, of the quotes, misquotes and downright take-offs of various cultures which make the discworld series such a joy to read. However the books are entirely suitable – no sex and very little violence but best left until the child is a bit older.
