I love Discworld and agree it takes Pratchett a few books to really find his voice. Night Watch is one of my favorite books of any genre, and there are quotable moments in just about every book.

Don't sleep on the Tiffany Aching novels, either; I think they're technically classified as YA, but a ton of great stuff in there.

I bought a gigantic e-book bundle so I have almost the whole set, maybe missing one or two books total.

What order did yall read it in? I went back and forth and then just decided to go chronological because it seemed like other orders cherry picked from the beginning and I don't want to be let down after the first few books.

Mostly chronological, but I skipped around some. There's lists that put all the mini arcs in reading order if you want to focus on certain characters, although there is overlap among all the books.

Chronological is fine. There are a bunch of sub-series (Witches, Guards, Wizards, Death, etc.), but Pratchett provides enough context so that just about all of them can be read as stand-alone books.

Finished: The Sowers of the Thunder The Robert E. Howard Omnibus: 99 Collected Stories (Halcyon Classics) and *How it Unfolds by James S. A. Corey (reread). For some reason, Kindle didn't show the Corey book as read, so I started it and it seemed very familiar. It's more of a short story than a book, so between that and it being a reread I finished it in one day. The Robert E. Howard books are filler material for waiting rooms and short breaks. I started it a couple of years ago and have read about 65%

Starting: Animal Farm by George Orwell

Completed: Elric of Melnibone by Michael Moorcock. Good enough and important historically, but Moorcock's writing for me isn't quite at the level of a Jack Vance or a Fritz Lieberman. Probably also doesn't help that Elric, while a revolutionary character at the time, reads today a little like a Hot Topic come to life.
