If you've never read any Pratchett and want to try it out, rather than read one of the many Discworld novels, or any of his sci-fi, or the Bromeliad or Johnny Maxwell trilogies, I'd instead recommend the stand-alone novel Nation. It is my opinion that it is the most concise demonstration of everything great about Pratchett's writing.
- bityard 4y agoI'm about a little more than halfway through it right now and already it's one of the most beautiful works I've ever read.
- cycomanic 4y agoWhile I really liked Nation, I don't think it represents the random laugh/giggle on the train type humour that is so common in the discworld novels. For me the humour is a bit more subtle in Nation.
