Or, you know, any other Terry Pratchett novel. But The Fifth Elephant will do as something on which to hang your head. Unless, of course, you’ve never actually read the man. In that case I recommend that you start at… huh. That’s a tough one. I got started with Wyrd Sisters, and that’s as good a place as any?
I generally start people off with Small Gods.
Or Guards! Guards!
I didn’t much care for The Fifth Elephant. It was part the run of a few books where it seemed to me that the magic was dying. (It turns out that Fifth Elephant, Jingo, Monsterous Regiment and Thud! weren’t actually published sequentially, but that’s how I encountered them.)
