Nope. It's an attempt to get people to read Discworld in the proper order and not one that someone arbitrarily decided is correct (8th book in is not correct in any long running series)

So, it is not fair to do that to you, but you can do that to the other one?

That isn't really the reason I posted the Pratchett quote though, it is just that given how inflammatory your statements can be I thought a statement by the author and a link to additional discussion so that anyone new to the series could decide for themselves would be warranted. I think reading by published order is safe, but in the case of Discworld, there can be better ways to read it, especially for those who are not that into Fantasy as a whole.
It's not fair to do this to everyone who has yet to read Discworld.

The reason you posted the quote is so you can get the 8th book in a series read ineast of the 1st.
