I’m sorry to say that Terry Pratchett died in March 2015. For a complete list of the books with links to their pages, see Bibliography.First off, a bit of bad news.

If you know someone who likes theatre, they might prefer Wyrd Sisters or Maskerade.

The Wee Free Men is the first book of the Tiffany Series for younger readers (not dead yet, at least).

Guards! starts the Watch Series, a natural for fans of detective novels, police procedurals and film noir.Mort, the 4th Discworld Book, starts the Death Series.The book starts the popular Rincewind Series.

There is a difference between earlier books as opposed to later books and the balance swings from 'lighter' to 'darker' and back through the series. Which book to start with is a common question, with many answers.
