Please don't bring up that really awful map. It should be deleted in such a way that it can never be recreated.

I've read enough of the Discworld series to know that the series is best read (for the first time) in published order. Terry does not recap. So you do have moments where you will get lost because you don't know what happened before. Just because a book may feature the City Watch doesn't mean that details were not given in a book about Rincewind. It's all interconnected and it works best without that map that will spoil the series for anyone who has not yet read Discworld.
