The titles are:
"Reaper Man", "Small Gods", "Wyrd Sisters", "Moving Pictures"

Went to an adorable book shop and found these guys. I haven't read Pratchett yet but I feel it'll be right up my alley

I'm pretty sure I see "Small Gods" and "Wyrd Sisters" recommended a lot and I know you can't really go wrong, but of these which would you recommend the most? Since this is what I have I'll read them all eventually

Regardless I'm excited to have gotten physical copies because my library has long wait lists for his books

Edit: Thanks for all of the discussion! This post brought me a lot of positive on an otherwise rough day. I've decided to start with "Small Gods"

I just want to say again thank you to everyone who responded to me or to someone else. It's been a joy hearing what each person has to contribute to the conversation

Even if they fall flat (which I highly doubt) all of your enthusiasm came through and that really in itself means so much. It was truly touching

I started reading them when Mort was the newest one. I quickly acquired the first three, and bought each new one as soon as it came out. He was putting out two books a year for a while there, and it was always a thrill to see a new one on the shelf. I too recommend reading them in publication order.

Wyrd Sisters is one of my all time favourites, and my well worn copy is the one I chose to get signed by the man himself when he came to Brisbane many years ago.

The Discworld has been part of my life for so long that I sometimes forget there are people in the world that have never read any of them. OP is in for a treat.
