He wrote a fantasy book series called the Discworld series. It's a humorous, quirky take on traditional fantasy. The series follows the world as a whole so there really is no running story but there are individual runs of books about the same groups of characters. If you have time to read it the first book in the series is The Colour of Magic, however the best starting places for the series are probably Guards Guards (which is about policemen) Going Postal (which is about conmen) or Wyrd Sisters (which is about witches)

I hate to be a dick about this but could you change "she's led" to "he's led" just because Death in the discworld books was male.

Oh, sorry about that! I've never read the Discworld books, so I must have unconsciously been thinking of Death from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman series. ((Certainly a Death I wouldn't mind seeing when I crossover. . .))

Apparently Pratchett received letters from fans for years saying that they hoped that when they died the Death of the Discworld was there to collect them.

My advice is to start with Guards Guards or Going Postal because the Ankh Morpork City Watch and Moist Von Lipwig are the two most addictive of the discworld sub series

Go for Guards! Guards!,that one should be easier to hop into without any prior knowledge I think.

Mort is also a good choice

He was only the author of the greatest, funniest, fantasy-comedy series of all time, Discworld.  He will be sorely missed.

Well, first time for everything.  The first book in the "main" branch of this branching series is "The Color of Magic".  Here's a diagram detailing how some of Pratchett's other books connect to each other: www.lspace.org/books/reading-o…

Click on your language (English, I'm assuming, but there are others like German and Spanish) and you're good to go!

Of course, you don't have to read them at all if you don't want to.  In that case, just ignore this.

Take this as an invitation, then, to acquaint yourself with his work.  It is amazing.
