The titles are:
“Reaper Man”, “Small Gods”, “Wyrd Sisters”, “Moving Pictures”

Went to an adorable book shop and found these guys. I haven’t read Pratchett yet but I feel it’ll be right up my alley

I’m pretty sure I see “Small Gods” and “Wyrd Sisters” recommended a lot and I know you can’t really go wrong, but of these which would you recommend the most? Since this is what I have I’ll read them all eventually

Regardless I’m excited to have gotten physical copies because my library has long wait lists for his books

Edit: Thanks for all of the discussion! This post brought me a lot of positive on an otherwise rough day. I’ve decided to start with “Small Gods”

I just want to say again thank you to everyone who responded to me or to someone else. It’s been a joy hearing what each person has to contribute to the conversation

Even if they fall flat (which I highly doubt) all of your enthusiasm came through and that really in itself means so much. It was truly touching

    I friking love Pratchett. But he has very much his own style. As the other commenter, I would gently nudge you towards later books if you want to try, but it’s fine to like different things.

    Unrelated: the only reason why I didn’t start in publication order is because as a teen I read them translated and they had only translated the night watch series at the time. So there I went. I still have a soft spot for those books ^^

      When I have a space in my reading to fit one in I am going to try out one of the books the previous person replied suggesting to me to see if I like them a bit more.

      I’m going to go in with an open mind but I have a rather large back log as well as being very into a long series at the moment so I don’t think I will get to them for a while :)

        No book is running away ;)

        I do very poorly with backlogs. I end up impulse buying and/or borrowing a “fresh” book and postpone the whole pile for a while

          I keep acquiring more because I think I want a break from the series I’m deep into but then I start something new and realise I don’t want a break at all xD

          I burn through many many hours in a week though so a time will come when I can slot one in, it isn’t like they are super long books, at least the first few of Discworld weren’t.

          I think most hobbies have a backlog in some way, shape or form xD
