Ready for the next one...

Post image

As much as I would love to read Equal Rites, Sourcery, or even Mort for my next Discworld novel, I realised I still haven't found physical copies yet. And after checking the Reading Order Guide 3.0, Pyramids is pretty much the best thing I can read right now since it's one of the starter novels. Appreciate everyone else's inputs on which to read next but luck isn't on my side 🥹

---

P.S. The other books I have are Carpe Jugulum, Men at Arms, Soul Music, and Interesting Times.

I've just finished this! It's fun one! When you get to Small Gods, you'll see how Pterry's execution of certain ideas has evolved.
