It has also been made into a TV movie starring Tim Curry. The Color of Magic, an early novel of Discworld and still one of the best, follows the adventures of incompetent wizard Rincewind and a tourist named Twoflower. And really, once you see what Pratchett can do with a story about the post office, it's clear how hilarious and poignant his writing truly is. The novel is incredibly funny and also stands alone enough to be an excellent entry point into the series for anyone. Our favorite of Pratchett's novels, Going Postal follows a con man as he attempts to revitalize the post office in Discworld's premiere city of Ankh-Morpork (a place where stamps are not yet a thing).
To celebrate the author, we picked five of his best works that you should read, whether your a super fan or you've never heard of Discworld. But altogether he wrote 70 books over the course of his career. Pratchett is perhaps best known for his Discworld series, 40 books that took place in the "Discworld" universe, a flat disc borne on the backs of gigantic elephants that, in turn, ride a gigantic turtle. Terry Pratchett, the celebrated fantasy author, died Thursday at 66.
