Right Reading Order
Due to the large number of books in the Discworld series (41 novels), we recommend starting with one of these sub-series:
- The City Watch series (starting with "Guards! Guards!")
- The Witches series (starting with "Equal Rites" or "Wyrd Sisters")
- The Death series (starting with "Mort")
- The Rincewind series (starting with "The Color of Magic")
Additional Information
While the Discworld novels can be read in publication order, many fans prefer to read them by character or story arc. The series contains several interconnected story arcs, and readers often find it rewarding to follow these arcs rather than strict publication order.
