I discovered Discworld a while ago but I hadnât been able to stick to any of the books I tried. Last year I found the witches series and i really liked most of it, specially anything to do with granny and tiffany. I also liked a lot of things about the death series but after that I started to find much of it a bit tiring and I couldnât get into any other book. I cannot put my finger on it, but the older the book, the harder it was.
I am still glad I discovered this world and maybe I just need to take smaller doses of it.

Nearly 40 here. Donât like fantasy/sci-fi but I started the first discworld audiobook recently. Itâs decent - Iâm enjoying it far far more than I thought I would. I second the recommendation to go for it. But also donât stick with a book youâre not enjoying just because itâs widely considered âa good bookâ. There are more books in the world than you could possibly read in a lifetime - life is literally too short to waste on books you think you should be reading.

There are two versions of the audio books. The newer ones by Penguin Audio are worlds better than the older ones.
Also- Iâm on book 17 and most of them have been absolutely delightful. But there have been about four that I just didnât get into. Itâs not necessary to read them in order and skipping the ones you donât enjoy doesnât take away from the rest of the books. If there is anything you need to know from another book there is a little authorâs aside that fills you in. I agree, no need to read something you arenât enjoying.
