Discworld's probably the comfiest fantasy series out there, right up there with Lord of the Rings. I don't think enough of /lit/ has taken the time out of their ***patrician reading schedule*** that they should to check it out, so I figured I'd start this reading group.
We'll be starting with Wyrd Sisters. It introduces a lot of unfamiliar concepts and characters of Discworld with a familiar story: it's a lampoon of Macbeth. From there, we'll read Guards, Guards!, Pyramids, Moving Pictures, and Reaper Man. This is so we can go back and read the first five books of the series more comfortably: they're great novels, but they're very much Pratchett's juvenalia and as a newcomer they're not the best entrance into the Discworld series. After that, we'll more or less read the series in order of publication supplemented with short stories and other media.
Alternatively, we could just go in order of publication and see how Pratchett's writing style and taste evolves over the course of those first 10-12 books, but seeing as I'm really trying to turn you guys onto Discworld I wouldn't recommend that. It's up to you guys, really. I have reading schedules for Wyrd Sisters and The Colour of Magic (the first published novel) planned whichever one you guys choose.
One final thing: We'll be taking periodic week-long breaks so you guys can digest other books, but these weeks will have supplemental material, as I mentioned before.

Why would you dedicate this much time and effort into something that shouldn't be given any thought at all once you hit 16? Or are you indeed underage.

I like Pratchett, but what the hell are you trying to accomplish with this thread? Granted it triggered all the autistic pseuds wonderfully, but there's little to actually discuss about his work.

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.

OP here. It's a reading group, so like the Inferno reading group or the Ulysses one, we'll read pages/chapters based on a schedule and discuss it in the Discord. It also allows people to quickly and easily ask questions while reading.
