When it comes to leisure reading, no one HAS TO do anything, least of all what you tell them they HAVE TO do. I did read all of them in publication order, and once again you are quite simply, WRONG. Purely as an example, not given as a definitive list, two books of the Discworld series that can easily be read as standalones are
Pyramids (meh, but probably the most "isolated" of them all) and
Small Gods (sublime). There are several suggested reading order lists online, and there is absolutely no need to read from book 1-40 (as I actually did). The Wee Free Men have no real connexion to Rincewind, reading their stories separately from the Wizards arc will not impair the reading experience at all.
