Discworld!

[Syntax Error]

So, I just finished reading Reaper Man (bought it just last Tuesday), and it's one of the funniest books I've ever read. Now I need more Discworld. Any recommendations on what I can read next?

Its been nearly 30 years since I read these books but weren't they published in series like Spellsinger, For Love of Mother-not, etc?

Personally I'd look up their chronology and read them that way

Any tom clancy story is good so long as you can sit through a ton of military jargon...

Read everything =p

You could organize them by main characters and timelines present in the books.
And of course there's somewhat of a timeline going throughout the whole series, the earlier books obviously happen first.

They're all awesome, I advise you to start with Colour of Magic (1st one) and go forth to the end.

Ok, I'll try to look for that one. I was really happy that I bought Reaper Man almost on impulse, because when I came back to the bookstore two days later, it was already out of stock.

When you run out of Discworld start reading Robert Rankin. It is the same kind of zany sci-fiish fantasy.

I like reading them by their character sets. Reaper man in part of the Death set, so next I would reccommend `Mort`, `Hogfather` then `Thief of time`

I think that is the correct sequence for the stories centered on Death

Thanks, I looked at the Wiki and decided I'd do the same thing.

Then you should start on the Vimes books, start with guards guards and then work through them. Vimes and death are my favourite characters.

the wizards have a lot of guest appearers, so read the books about them early

3 wytches
guards guards
Lesser gods (one of my favs)

But I read all of them in chronological order and advice you the same

 

[RathWolf]

Small Gods. Get it.

Then I'd recommend the Watch books.

Thanks for the recommendations. I am looking for Good Omens, myself.

I have to agree. Vimes/The Watch and Death are his best, though I'm developing a soft spot for William De Worde and Moist Von Lipwig exceedingly fast. That said, the books are a little chronological, so reading them in order of when they were written may lead to better understanding of the latest books.
