Discover Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, the beloved comic fantasy universe that’s brimming with wit, wisdom, and wonder. Start where it all began in the seminal novel The Color of Magic, which follows the misadventures of the inept wizard Rincewind as he serves as tour guide to Twoflower, Discworld's first-ever sightseer. The hapless duo’s journeys continue in The Light Fantastic and Sourcery, where the scale of world-threatening hazards (and accompanying absurdities) increase exponentially. You’ll get over 35 Discworld novels in all, touching all corners of this whimsical realm and all manner of its denizens, and you’ll help Room to Read with your purchase!

People generally recommend the death arc or city watch. Rincewind is the canonical start though, so its also good.

Just reading them is good. Don't over think it too much.

Don't underthink it too much though, there are arcs and while it wouldn't be too awful to read an arc out of order, it could be more confusing than necessary.

Yeah night watch is amazing but would struggle without guards guards. And without the context of Wyrd Sisters a lot of what deals with Lancre would be lacking what it can be
