Me and my partner are getting into the discworld books and I always love your reblogs for it! Do you have any recs? we just finished Going Postal (a personal favourite of mine)

OH BOI DO I HAVE RECS!! You knocked on the right door, my friend!

The Discworld series can be broken down into several sub-series. I advise reading each book in a given sub-series in order (eg, book 1 of the Watch before book 2 of the Watch), but reading each sub-series in whatever order (Death before the Witches, or the Witches before Death, or mixing them up). Reading the books in order is not absolutely necessary, you might just miss some context, and see the characters' evolution in the wrong order; but each book has its own separate plot.

@blackboard-monitor wrote a very good comprehensive break-down of each sub-series, and which ones you might enjoy depending on what you like.

As for my personal recommendations:

If you liked Moist von Lipwig, I'd recommend his other two books: "Making Money" and "Raising Steam".

If you want to stay in Ankh-Morpork but with different protagonists, I'd suggest the Watch series (my personal favourite). It's about a cynical noir inspector and his band of loser cops who accidentally become a competent police force through sheer spite. Start with "Guards! Guards!"

The Death series is a fandom favorite. It tells the story of the Grim Reaper, his family, and his recurring existential crises. Start with "Mort".

If you don't want to get into a sub-series just yet, you can try one of the free standing books.

"Small Gods" is a must-read, it's about the origins of religion, the meaning of faith, and the dangers of religious extremism. Also it has a one-eyed sentient tortoise that swears a lot.

I'd also recommend "Monstrous Regiment", which can only be described as "Mulan but with more lesbians". It's about feminism, gender roles, the pointlessness of war, nationalism, and it has a non-binary caffeine-addict vampire.

And of course, this wouldn't be a proper Discworld Recommendation Post without whipping out a Reading Order Chart, the Discworld Fan's most efficient weapon.

This may look like a mess at first glance, but Fear Not! It's actually pretty simple to use: just pick a color and follow it!

I hope you enjoy Discworld, and might one day become one of us feral fans lurking in the shadows of the Internet with a reading order chart, ready to spring onto unsuspecting newbies!
