Bookworm: The books only get better, and the Death arc and the first book have basically nothing in common. Mort, the first Death book, is actually the fourth Discworld book- early enough that it provides a LOT of background information about the Discworld universe (multiverse, whatever). I’d suggest starting from there, and subsequently continuing with the Death arc. By the time you’ve finished it, you’ll have a great grasp of Discworld. (It’s actually my favorite story arc and the way I started.)
secretagentyid: I actually also delurked for this thread!
If you’ve read all of them, does that mean you read Raising Steam? I’m trying to decide whether to read it- is it any good?
Anyone else know?
