Terry Pratchett audiobooks in order
Everything Terry Pratchett has on this site: 1 series, 41 books published 1983–2015.
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 2022-onward re-recording with a different lead actor per book. Do not go hunting for the old ones.
