Also, give the Tiffany Aching series a chance!

Raising Steam is a bad book which lacks the charm and humor of Pratchett's work. But it's still a book, at least.

Shephard's Crown is basically a conversation with a late stage Alzheimer's patient. Just... ideas and plots and paragraphs going nowhere.

I cried like a baby when I read it, though. which admittedly was right after PTerry died. It was a good send off, even if it’s not a good book.

I started with Thud!

I’m also ready to fight anyone who says I Shall Wear Midnight is bad.

I’ve read The Shepherd’s Crown once right after it was published, a couple of months after Sir Terry passed, and I tried like a baby through most of it. I’m trying to add it back into my regular rotation when I reread the Tiffany Aching series but I’m going to need like a good week of time during it where I can just bust into tears without people seeing me.

I feel like a terrible Pratchett fan for enjoying UA now.

Listening to We Shall Wear Midnight by Steeleye Span and it’s giving me the same feeling that reading The Shepherd’s Crown did.

Yeah, the Night Watch and Jingo audiobooks are hard to find on US sites. I had to :filez: my way into Night Watch

My first Discworld book was a Thud! because it was in my college bookstore’s display and I picked it up on my scholarship’s book allowance.
