Okay, so I’ve read all of them multiple times. First one I ever read was Eric and I still have a bit of a soft spot for it even though it’s not my favourite by a long way. I loved Thief of Time for it’s Top Gear references, and Soul Music/Moving Pictures?Maskerade for their pop-culture references. But my all-time favourite is Jingo – it captures quintessential Englishness so well. It’s a tough call though. I do have a least favourite – Thud! just tries too hard for me.
As for what is and isn’t canonical, good question. For me TAMAHER is not as it is simply a story on Discworld, not about it. Although with that criterion Monstrous Regiment would also fail without the shoehorning in of Vimes. The Tiffany Aching books are a tough one as they are clearly about Discworld but apart from the Nac Mac Feegle there is very little bleed-through between them and the rest of the Discworld series, which do have a fair bit of cross-pollination internally despite the general stand-alone structure of each book and indeed each mini-series. The Last Hero most definitely is, despite its format.
