I've never read any Pratchett. Any suggsstions on what would be a good startingpoint (as a particularly good example of his writing)?
E: It seems this question was mostly answered in other comments.
There are whole website that are dedicated to advising the reading order of his books. But if you want something from his main book series I suggest Guards Guards, read all the books in that series and then read Making Money, read all the books in that series and then you'll want to start on anything with the Wizards, possibly not Sorcery despite that being the first one because it's kind of an early book and sort of weak, and not funny like the later books in the series.
But this guide should help you. Pick something start on the left and go to the right.
Why is there a key in the top left of types of stories designated with shapes. And not a single point in the infographic matches any of those symbols. Which are starter novels? And which are YA?
The key is the colors not the shapes as far as I can tell, as the starter books are all that orange/yellow color
So the YA novels appear to just be the Tiffany Aching series.
The red ones are also labeled "Science Novels," both in the legend, and as the title of the series attached to the arrow pointing at the first of the series, which isn't orange, so I guess that the order isn't as important with those books?
I didn't make the graphic so I'm not sure on the shapes, but the starter books are the ones on the left with the arrows.
Cheers! Saving the image for later.
