Where to start

Publication order is listed below, but it is not the usual recommendation. Most listeners start with a sub-series instead — Guards! Guards! for the City Watch, Wyrd Sisters for the Witches, Mort for Death, or Going Postal for Moist von Lipwig. The first two books are the weakest and put a lot of people off entirely. One warning about recordings: almost every Discworld recommendation you will read online names Nigel Planer or Stephen Briggs, who narrated the series for decades. Those readings are no longer sold on Audible UK — the current set is the re-recording released from December 2021, with one lead actor for each sub-series and a different lead on each standalone. Do not go hunting for the old ones. One exception: A Blink of the Screen, a collection of Pratchett's short fiction that Audible files under Discworld, is still sold in its 2012 recording by Michael Fenton Stevens and Stephen Briggs. It is listed at its publication point and is optional.
