Discworld is Terry Pratchett's most beloved saga: 41 novels set on a flat world traveling through space on the backs of four giant elephants standing on a turtle. It sounds absurd because it is — but beneath the comedy lies one of the sharpest critiques of human society ever written. You don't need to read it in strict order — it's divided into sub-series by character. Start with the City Watch or with Mort depending on what appeals to you most. The series is complete with 41 novels, as Pratchett passed away in 2015.
