Hi, Lindsay! Re: that Discworld post you reblogged. Uh, do you happen to know the Mulan one or the robot uprising one? :'D I've been meaning to start Discworld. I'm already planning to read the ones that feature Death.
re: this post, the mulan one is “monstrous regiment”, and one of the greatest things my eyeballs and ears have ever beheld, and it was the first discworld book I heard the audio of and immediately went back to actually read.
“monstrous regiment” is one of the later books, so some of the plots of the earlier ones will be be spoiled, but imo, and as someone who was spoiled for earlier books by reading/listening to later books first, its just that much more exciting when you finally meet the people for the first time and get to see how they came to be where they were when you first met them. on the other hand, I would personally recommend reading the first two Watch books, because one of the best recurring gags of the Disc is characters not knowing the identity of one of the watch members that is a fantastic reveal in the second book of that series. ANYWAYS.
“monstrous regiment” is a delight, i cannot imagine how it would disappoint you. good times lie ahead.
re: the robot uprising, that is “feet of clay” which is the third book in the Watch series. The watch books are, to my knowledge, the most popular of the all the series, and very very worth your time. “Feet of clay” specifically, is fantastic, for reasons of character development and sneaky bastards being sneaky, and ladieeees.
The Death books are a delight to the soul, my most favourite of them is “soul music” bc rock and roll, which’s summary in the post was “live fast die young musicians do it well (wizards try and fail at doing it well)” by astriferousssss
TL;DR: DISCWORLD WILL IMPROVE YOUR LIFE, HERE IS A HANDY READING ORDER GUIDE, GO FORTH FRIENDS
