Discworld may have ruined other books for me!

[-justin-]

So I recently finished reading all of the Discworld novels. Needless to say, I loved them, and now I have a new favorite author. For the last week I have been unable to get into any new books or authors! I guess it is time to start rereading Discworld Not that that is a bad thing
It really is a testament to the series and Sir Terry that after thirty nine books I am ready to go through it all again.

Happy reading all!

There is always the short stories to read and Discworld related ones.

Strata is worth a read, you get to see the possible seed of the idea for dw but my fave pTerry book is still good omens!

And you'll discover all sorts of things that you missed when you read the books the first time.

I think a lot of us have been in the position you are in now.

Sir Terry's books have certainly raised my standards for fiction of all kinds.

 

[The Mad Collector]

I agree with Tony, second time around is often better as you can spot the early hints as to where the story is heading and just get so much more out of the books.

 

[TwoShotTino]

You spot a lot more subtle humour the second time around too

 

[Antiq]

You spot a lot more subtle humour the second time around too

So true. I'm on my third time round, and I'm still finding little things I missed.

Have you found lspace.org yet? There are Annotations, and a link to the Discworld wiki page with more annotations.

Your mileage may vary (YMMV), but I find that after rereading all the books, going back and rereading the early ones shows me the seeds of the elements brought out in greater detail later on. All the basic world-view that is what keeps bringing me back - it's there right from the beginning. :dance:
