I put the goal "Read all the Discworld novels" on my 43 Things list. I’ve already read a lot of ‘m, I just don’t remember which and of others I don’t remember how the story went. So I’ve deceided to read them all again. I’ll keep score here.

Removed Strata, which is a non-Discworld book. See non-discworld list here: http://www.listsofbests.com/list/5965

Are these in the order to be read? I’m confused by this series!

The three Science of Discworld books are not quite “novels.” They do tell a Discworld story, with additions. They introduce scientific concepts in the course of the wizards of Unseen University running an experiment called “Roundworld.” Rincewind runs all through the first book, and the Luggage also makes an appearance.

I added Where’s My Cow? It is connected with Thud! and I listed it after Wintersmith because, although it may have come out in England before Wintersmith, it is not yet available in the US except by order from the UK.

Absolutely love Pratchett! The only thing better than reading a book was having the unique opportunity to tour a World Horror Con art show in company with him. If you think the writing satire is wonderful? Try the spoken version.

Which covers are these?
I have never seen any of them on sale in the UK. We get some really good illustrations on our covers.
I don’t Know why the children’s books are seperate actually… the only difference ever seems to be the point of view is from someone younger… it’s not like some other “childrens books” where they talk down to the reader…however those are mainly the bad ones. It’s still discworld… oh well hmmm 2 more to go, 3 if I can find Maurice anywheres.

It appears that the children’s Discworld novels are not being included here, so I didn’t add any of those. But, I did add Thud! to the list because it is the most recent adult Discworld.
For point of reference “The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents” should go between “The Last Hero” and “Night Watch”.
“The Wee Free Men” should go after “Night Watch”
“A Hat Full of Sky” would fit after “Monstrous Regiment”
The next novel “Wintersmith” also appears to be a children’s novel which would then go after “Thud!” and is expected to be published in September 2006.
