Terry Pratchett is the GOAT in my opinion!! He does have a very specific sense of humor so it'll be interesting to see if it clicks with you.

@mikesbookreviews Месяц назад

I'm expecting it to since so many bring it up in regard to HGTTG

@martymead Месяц назад

I have read the complete discworld series and started with the colour of magic. I think I read the first 20 or so books very quickly over a few weeks and I just couldn't get enough of them. They do get better as they move on and once I caught up with all that had been released in paperback I bought them in hard cover as soon as they were released. An epic series and worth reading every one!! Keep up the good work Mike and keep reading.

@AnEriksenWife Месяц назад

I LOVE Terry Pratchett. "Color of Magic" is decent, but he gets SO MUCH BETTER later in the series, as he really hits his stride. Did you see that "Theft of Fire" was recently selected as a finalist for the Prometheus Award? TBD if it wins, but hope it makes it onto your TBR, would love to hear what you think!

@destro6971 Месяц назад

Publication order is absolutely the right way through Discworld. Theres so much compounding world building that you miss out on lots of little references the deeper you get. possible exceptions with Small Gods, Pyramids,and Monstrous Regiment,as they are the stand aloniest of the stand alones. But even after those you should start at 1. The Turtle Moves.

@craiglooney8220 Месяц назад

Only about 100 pages left to go with Son of the Black Sword and it brought me out of my own reading slump. Can't wait to dive into Book 2 next month too!

@jameskyle7943 Месяц назад

I fully agree with reading Colour of Magic first. And reading the rest in publishing order as well. Even though they can all be read as stand-alones, each book tends to layer on the references from prior books, so if you read them out of order I think a lot of things will not make as much sense.

@mikesbookreviews Месяц назад

That's what I figured. Drizzt does it the same way.

@kingzzz6509 Месяц назад

I’m excited that you’re starting Discworld. I think you’re going to like it. Knowing how much you like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, I’m not really worried that you will not like it.

@alexisameliabeach2420 Месяц назад

I Love The Discworld. I started with The Colour of Magic and have never regretted it. So many little things to pick up on that you might miss if not going in order. Enjoy…

@RLX5201 Месяц назад

Absolutely the right decision to read Discworld in publication order. Rincewind is hilarious and a brilliant character. I’m forever confused by people who suggest starting with book 8/9 or even later. That makes little sense to me.

@wesb2823 Месяц назад

I love Pratchett. I quite like the Colour of Magic. It was the first one I read in the series. They definitely get better, but it's still a good book. Have fun reading!

@mikesbookreviews Месяц назад

Looking forward to it

@brettschacht4183 Месяц назад

First! Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for re- igniting my love for reading. It started a LONG time ago with Stephen King (still my favorite), but you've really opened up my vistas, especially in regards to the fantasy genre. Thank you, Mike!

@mikesbookreviews Месяц назад

My pleasure!

@esmayrosalyne Месяц назад

Oooh cool to see The Vanished Birds, that is one of my favourites, but it's also one of those books that's hard to recommend. If it helps, it almost feels like a short story collection at first, but eventually all the threads converge beautifully. Very unconventional, but so worth the ride! Also hope you enjoy your first foray into Discworld, happy reading!!

@MacScarfield Месяц назад

My May TBR List: «The Wise Man’s Fear» by Patrick Rothfuss (Fantasy, sequel to «The Name of the Wind») «Madouc» (Lyonesse Trilogy #3) by Jack Vance ((Pre-)Arthurian Fantasy) «The Dragonbone Chair» (Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, #1) by Tad Williams (Epic Fantasy, a key influence for George R. R. Martin's « A Song of Ice and Fire») My May MBR list: «After Rome» by Morgan Llywelyn (Historical Fiction set in Post-Roman Britain) «Idoru» by William Gibson (Cyberpunk) «Kings of the Wyld» by Nicholas Eames (Fantasy Humor) I have just finished «Empire of Silence» and Petrik & Jake Bishop have group-pressured me (though in the nicest way, after all Petrik is Southeast Asian and Jake Canadian! 😆) into start reading «Howling Dark» right away! And Saga of the Forgotten Warrior intrigues me!

@CedCeg Месяц назад

I am very much a disciple of the 'publication order' style of reading, as I think evolution of style and context is very important. And it is very much so in Discworld. I read it in publication order back to back (that's about a solid year of reading nothing but Discworld), and I'm very glad I did. But as many people have probably pointed out: you will more than likely like it. Maybe really like it, even as you encounter a few stinkers in there. But it could be quite a while before you love it. For me that turning point definitely was Guards Guards, the 8th book in. So while I applaud the decision of not starting with Guards Guards, I would most importantly implore you to not drop the series before Guards Guards.

@FlowerPower69123 Месяц назад

Plan to read mark lawrence book that broke the world. Will of the many - james islington Alien clay- adrian tchaikovsky Frontier- grace curtis The dream weavers- barbara erskine AND FINALLY.. the bitter twins- jen williams

Sure, I’ll read Colour of Magic, been sitting on my shelf looking at me for ages.

@siisch46 Месяц назад

i haven't read any Pratchett yet either. The color of magic is also where i plan to start. i'll try to add that to my May TBR now :)

That's where I started, publication order is best I think :)

@mikesbookreviews Месяц назад

Let's go!

@AlexNitsu Месяц назад

Took me 3 times to really get into Pratchett. The book that did it for me is Soul Music (rock music refernces were both much appreciated and hilarious). Now I'm a huge fan. And I think there are huge advantages to reading in publication order (Which what I usually do anyway)

@_charmed Месяц назад

The way my jaw dropped to discover that you hadn't read Terry Pratchett?! fairly new to your channel but I just assumed 🤣 I am not even a huge fantasy reader but I have been reading Discworld since I was about 15 back in the 90's. Discworld is a funny thing though, everybody likes different parts of that world. I hope you enjoy your journey to the Discworld! Good Omens, the book is absolutely worthy of a read, Its so good!

@TheDneaves Месяц назад

Chronicle order of Discworld is good, I remember enjoying the second book the most of the first few. Bit like wheel of time, the first book gives you the world and characters, then in the second book more happens.

@NamasteBbooktube Месяц назад

🤞

@Michael_L_Morrison Месяц назад

I too will be reading You Like It Darker by Mr. King. In addition to this, I will also be reading The Madness of Gods by R.S. Moule, book 3 of a trilogy. I have another book 3 of a trilogy that I'll be reading - The Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart. And the last of my planned books for May will be The Silverblood Promise by James Logan, considered to be one of the best fantasy debuts of 2024 according to Petrik.

@GriffBateman Месяц назад

People get really hung up on the reading order for Discworld, and it all comes down to the quality, I think. Because yeah, you can certainly watch Sir Pterry's skills improving before your own eyes, but it's not that the first books are awful or anything. Later books are much better, that's true. But I did the same, I started reading following the publication order and I don't regret it whatsoever.

@mikesbookreviews Месяц назад

Sounds similar to Dresden Files

@briteskin Месяц назад

My plan for May is LOTR: Two Towers and the new Stephen King collection. I have gotten bit behind on my planned 6 month read of Shogun this month. Might take a break since hasn't been my thing thus far. If have time between Tolkien and King may reread 'Throat' by Peter Straub realized didn't finish his trilogy.

@Lim_Jahey Месяц назад

Just FYI I read boys in the valley, and its not scary, but definitely a great story

@IcePrinceYuki1 Месяц назад

I thought piranesi was great. I read it in one sitting. I still think about the story months after reading.

@farhad_s Месяц назад

Colour of Magic is the best place to start. It's a great introduction to the Discworld and its denizens. Just keep in mind the books eventually get way better, and the first two were written more as a parody of the fantasy genre at the time. Will definitely join you for my fifth (tenth maybe?) reread.

@mikesbookreviews Месяц назад

I'm going into it with a completely open mind.

@FKDotFitzgerald Месяц назад

Hello Mike, been watching your channel for over a new and have decided to finally comment. Absolutely love what you do. Thanks to you I have read Pierce Brown, Mike Shackle and currently reading The Heroes by Abercrombie and also Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff. Loved them all. Malazan is my favourite series, finished my 3rd complete read about 6 weeks ago. I loved it from the first page of Gardens of the moon to the end. For me, Discworld should be read in publication order and the first 2 books are still the ones which are laugh out loud funny to me. If you do really find yourself enjoying Discworld, don't forget the Tiffany Aching books for 'younger' readers as they are fantastic as well. Look forward to many more reviews from you, those are my favorites. Till next time Chris
