Even my ex (who only read about 5 books in the 9 years we were together!) really enjoyed this one and The Light Fantastic. I love trying to find the book that will turn a non-reader into a reader lol.<br /><br />@ Clint - I agree that this isn't the best in the series, I'm always impressed with each new release and the later books are much, much better but I still love this for the complete randomness and the humor. Terry is definitely one of my favourite authors :o)<br /><br />@ Clover - I keep thinking I must finish re-reading this seris so I can get started on the more recent ones. The trouble is that TBR pile is just way too big! I'm sure you have the same problem. You should definitely read the Tiffany Aching ones though, I love the witches :o)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491718306784046961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816222359708972661.post-32206426694826401352011-11-01T11:47:32.978+00:002011-11-01T11:47:32.978+00:00Last year I made it my goal to read as many Terry ...Last year I made it my goal to read as many Terry Pratchett books as I could. I started off great, but I think I only 4-5 over the year before I got distracted by other things. I'd still really love to read more Discworld books, especially catching up on the Tiffany Aching books.Michelle Fluttering Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793681725475475156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816222359708972661.post-10678829500549949852011-10-30T18:24:06.361+00:002011-10-30T18:24:06.361+00:00The Colour of Magic is a fair introduction to Prat...The Colour of Magic is a fair introduction to Pratchett's humour, but it's generally agreed that the series got a lot better when the books started to include things like plots -- TCoM is a fairly random pastiche, primarily of Fritz Leiber.<br /><br />I wouldn't say don't read it, but you will get a better impression of the Discworld if you skip to Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters or even Guards!
