[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7059874, member: 20564"] I've been on a recent kick of reading Discworld, which included re-reading The Color of Magic. It's ... zanier but a lot less well developed then the later books. I personally enjoyed later books significantly more. It's less episodic vignettes and more whole stories, and just benefits from having written more books in the Discworld so there is more to reference and pull in. Just more mature all around. It's on my top books list so I'm far from unbiased, and I first read it decades ago when the tropes weren't so worn down. Though it's harder for me to read now that I have children (same reason I can't reread Game of Thrones). If the ends justify the means is explored and deconstructed in the book, not just taken as a given. And if you haven't already spoiled twists I suggest not reading any reviews or seeing the movie. BTW, if you do finish it, stop there. The other books in the series are something different, and reading Ender's Shadow last year (the same timeframe told from Bean's PoV) actively harmed my enjoyment of Ender's Game. [/QUOTE]
