Which Pratchett book should I try first? rebelaessedai Send a noteboard - 08/09/2011 01:56:11 AM
I remember seeing a discussion about this somewhere but don't remember what the general consensus was. Apparently he has written in a broad range of styles. I picked up Small Gods based on the little I could find on my phone at the bookstore. I tend to like pretty cerebral stuff, and I'm iffy on comedic lit. I adored Neverwhere by Gaiman but wasn't too impressed with Good Omens, if that gives you an idea what I might like.

Hm. I don't know if I'd call Pratchett "cerebral." He's more... British. - 08/09/2011 03:26:53 AM 857 Views

I did too! It's tough to recommend that to others, though - 08/09/2011 05:28:15 PM 817 Views
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend people start with Color of Magic - 08/09/2011 06:43:20 PM 927 Views
