This applies to most, if not all, Discworld novels; they are all standalone pieces which are set in the same world. Will you miss a lot of cross novel references if you start with Small Gods first, you bet. But will the overall experience still be very enjoyable, you bet.
Awesome! I'll have to keep that in mind. This sounds like a great read. Any specific books I should start with to get into Pratchett or is SMALL GOODS a fine place to begin?
I'll recommend Equal Rites(precursor to Wyrd Sisters) or Wyrd Sisters(on the list). They are lighter and a perfect welcome into the Discworld universe.
I often fall prey to reddit curated lists. You're not alone in loving all the suggestions. I need to add all of these to my reading list. <3
SMALL GODS sounds really interesting. How important is DISKWORLD to being able to read this?
