Okay, @bookstodon #bookstodon ...
Where to start with Terry Pratchett? I think I've never read him but keep seeing him recommended. Or can you recommend someone else?

For context, I just finished Castle Hangnail by Ursula Vernor, bedtime reading with my rising 6th grader. We've recently read Vernor's Minor Mage and A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking (as T Kingfisher). Very funny basically kid friendly fantasy.

We also recently finished The Lord of the Rings. The whole thing.

What should be next?

we (@mrsquee and I, I mean) start friends who've never read him on "Guards, guards." We used to have a stack of those in paperback to hand out. It's not his first book in discworld; the first few weren't as compelling for us. But Guards, Guards is a great starting spot. :-)

@squeevening @mrsquee think the first one that I really liked was 'Equal rights' and Mort is still one of the best.
