Problem is I like following the novel arcs and the *correct* book to read after Men At Arm is Feet Of Clay. Sometimes published order isn't really the best way to read a series of novels, especially as large a series as the Discworld novels
That reading guide is crap. It never should have been created. It is 100% meaningless. The way Terry intertwines things makes that chat totally useless. For example, Death shows up in a number of different books focusing on other characters. But you then have a good chance of spoiling something Death related. There is another Death related character that if you've not read the book he was introduced in, you won't really get him. It's things like that that makes that chart a worthless waste of disk space on any server it sits on.
