Terry Pratchett’s magnum opus: one of the best, and definitely the funniest, fantasy series of all time.
If you’re just wanting to follow the exploits of a single character, try the Discworld Character Guide.
- Small Gods
- Novel published in 1992.
The events of Small Gods take place decades (or more) earlier than most other Discworld stories, leading to its placement here. However, stylistically-speaking – and in the case of a single time-travelling character – it may make more sense to read it in publication order. Hence, it is listed at both points in this Reading Order.
