Neukoln19 posted:What is the best terry prathectt novel? Guards! Guards! isn't the best Pratchett book ever, I guess, but it's the best one to start with. It's the first book about his best recurring characters, and it's the first one where Pratchett got his fantasy-parody/actual-fantasy/social-commentary/actually-funny-jokes blend just right. Then you can go forward or back as you like, or just follow the Guards books like it's a series. I recommend it to people all the time. Small Gods is very good and is a stand-alone. Hogfather is awesome (not a standalone, the other books about Death sort of build up for it, but he always explains things when he calls back to an earlier book). If you think Neil Gaiman had any worthwhile ideas, ever, you should read these books so you can see who he borrowed them from. I'd say stole but they were good friends so I'm sure Gaiman asked permission first. Honestly all of them are pretty okay, except The Colour of Magic and the Light Fantastic. Don't start reading Pratchett with the first Pratchett books.
