I own a few of the books in this series. These are it:
- The Colour of Magic
-
This is the first book in the series, and it is starred by Rincewind
and Twoflower, the first tourist on the Discworld. Twoflower
is a genuine tourist, who never realizes it when he is in danger.
There is also the fantastic Luggage, who copes in its own way with
any kind of trouble.
- The Light Fantastic
-
This is the sequel to The Colour of Magic. The Discworld is heading
for destruction, and the only person to save it, Rincewind the
Coward/Wizard, who fell off the Discworld in the prequel. It's a great
book, but you need to read The Colour of Magic before reading
this one.
- Equal Rites
- Mort
- Sourcery
- Wyrd Sisters
-
As often happens in a monarchy, the king dies under mysterious
circumstances and the new king is less nice. The infant prince is handed
to the three witches, Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlic who
hands him on to a small theatre group. The new king must be removed, but
witches don't like the idea of meddling. This book features a witch who
doesn't really know how to fly a broomstick and a song about a hedgehog.
- Pyramids
- Guards! Guards!

The story is about a small brotherhood (among many others) with a
hidden agenda: They want to summon a dragon to restore "the good
old times" with kings and heroes and all. They do succeed in summoning
dragons, but suddenly things get (of course) out of control. Commander
Vimes is set to regain control (and honour) to the Watch, but the odds
(and people) are definitely not on his side.

- Reaper Man
- Witches Abroad

- Lords and Ladies
- Men at Arms

- Interesting Times
- Maskerade
- Feet of Clay

This was the first book in the series I read, and I was instantly hooked.
A murder has happened in Ankh-Morpork, and Commander Vimes is set to solve
it. It's not an easy task when you've got golems running around town,
wondering about the meaning of life, philosophising about religion and
trying to reproduce. It doesn't get any easier when your squad consists of
a werewolf, a gargoyle, a troll and a transsexual dwarf.
