Just finished The Light Fanstastic by Terry Pratchett.

I enjoyed it a lot, I’m not sure if there are more Rincewind books but whilst I enjoyed him as a character, I’m looking forward to reading about another part of the Disc next

@bitflipped thank you! I’ve seen that before but clearly never internalised it! I think I might go to Equal Rites next!

@tosbourn @bitflipped for sure! Then get onto my favourite, Wyrd Sisters. Still have my very battered copy I got over 30 years ago.

@mo @tosbourn @bitflipped Yeah, I think it's worth getting to the later books if you even slightly enjoy the early ones. I still like 'the colour of magic' etc but I feel like Pratchett was still finding his groove there.

There's less (but still some) fantasy spoof from Mort onwards and more focus on political satire and earnest exploration of great characters. For my money, after the initial entries in each sub series ('colour of magic', 'equal rites,' 'guards guards', 'mort'), discworld really finds its 16 elephant feet. 🐢🧙‍♂️🧙‍♀️👮💀 Nice to hear you're enjoying them, happy reading! 😁

@midnight_creeper @mo @bitflipped my favourite so far has been either Going Postal or Mort.
