I can do no better than to quote someone from earlier in this thread:

"...I find it now rather embarrassing that people beginning the Discworld series start with
The Colour of Magic and
The Light Fantastic, which I don't think are some of the best books to start with. This is the author saying this, folks. Do not start at the beginning with Discworld."

I am happy for JSWolf to hold the opinion that one should only read the Discworld series in published order. But he shouldn't try to say that his opinion is also held by Terry Pratchett.
