[quote name='dothog']What do you think so far? I enjoyed the books for the the inquisitor character (Glotka, I believe), who was an original. I'll save overall thoughts for when you're done, just to prevent my getting spoilery.
I've taken a recent interest in the Discworld books. I've read three general recommendations as to how to dig in: 1) start chronologically (at #1), 2) start with one called Guards Guards, 3) start with one called Pyramids. Anyone care to support those starting points or propose his/her own?[/QUOTE]
Guards, Guards is a pretty good starting point. You could also start chronologically. The first few books focus mostly on Rincewind and the other wizards and witches. Some of the earlier books are pretty short (250 pages or so) but are still good.
Pyramids is a "solo" book but references some characters and locations from earlier books, not a bad book if I remeber correclty.
