- Yes
- The Color of Magic, decades ago when I was in high school.
- It varies, often it's whichever one I just finished. Going Postal and Small Gods are always good.

The fifth elephant. It actually made me read through all the other Rincewind books and then everything else I could find by Mr Pratchett. Loved his world building.
How, with such a breadth of outstanding novels, am I supposed to pick a favourite?
I also can't remember which is my first, a family friend lent us everything up to The Last Continent in one go, and I read them all in a completely random order.
First is hard to remember, but was probably The Color of Magic which delayed my reading of his other books for a time. It’s not bad, but didn’t grab me like the later books did. Favorite is hard to pick. The Last Continent, Monstrous Regiment, and Guards! Guards! are all great.
My first was Mort! And I immediately fell in love with Pratchett's style
As a child my first introduction to Terry Pratchett was the wee free men as an audiobook, and then a few years later some kind person recommended Mort to me, which I loved. It took me a while to figure out that my beloved childhood Tiffany Aching books were the same as the new Discworld series that I had discovered.
That's so sweet!
