Discworld

Forty-one novels, one flat world on the back of a turtle — and a map of where to dive in.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld is a comic-fantasy satire spanning 41 novels. Rather than one long story, it weaves several parallel threads — the Watch, the Witches, Death, the wizards, and more — that share a city, a world, and a cast of unforgettable characters.
