Discworld Reading Order Guides<\/a>. After looking up blurbs on the various books labeled as Starter Novels, as well as any others that caught my fancy. <\/p>\nI like the character Death, and seriously considered going with Mort <\/span>or Thief of Time<\/span>. But the plots of neither caught my interest.<\/p>\nI ended up going with the first three witches books (Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters<\/span>, and Witches Abroad<\/span>). I’ve done Wee Free Men<\/span> and A Hat Full of Sky<\/span>, which show up at the end of the witches line on the chart, and also The Amazing Maurice<\/span>, which the chart claims has “minor plot links” (though I don’t know what they’d be). I liked Granny Weatherwax in what I’ve read, so I decided to gamble on her rather than Death. I won’t get through all three of them on the trip, but it’s a good 10–11 hours, and the book claim to be 8, 10.5, and 8.5 hours each. <\/p>\nOkay, so that’s more than I need, but things should be done in threes. Besides, I’ve already started listening to Equal Rites<\/span>, though I don’t have the print copy yet, so I don’t really know how far along I am. The books have a different narrator from the Wee Free Men<\/span> and A Hat Full of Sky<\/span>, so I’m still trying to get used to her. I think I prefer Stephen Briggs’ Granny Weatherwax to Ms. Imrie’s; and I have no idea who is doing the Death voice on this recording, but it just feels wrong, perhaps because it’s such an interruption from Imrie’s voices. <\/p>\nSo the books are generally out of the way for the trip (if you will count that I’ve ordered the paperbacks and just have to put them in the car when they arrive Wednesday). Now I just need to do everything else for the Vue’s first road trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
