Discworld reading order guide

A community for all things related to the Discworld series of books by Sir Terry Pratchett.
I've kinda been wanting to get into the disc world books for awhile but fuck, this looks intimidating.
Meh, read 'em in order. I was all but done with the series when I saw posts like this.
You can read them any which way you like. I started with Hogfather because it sounded wild. If you go in order you catch more of the jokes and characters from the previous books.
The opposite. There's no need to read all of them. Each is self contained. So this amount just means you have a lot more to consume of you liked them
Not only is each self-contained, but I have found that each "sub-series"- if I can call them that- has a different vibe from the other, and are oftentimes entirely unrelated. So it's not like you're missing out on part of the story you were reading in Mort and Reaper Man by not reading a Rincewind book. Not many people actually read every book anyway.
Should be the opposite, there's a lot of options for where to start.
Just read Small Gods, which is fully self-contained and incidentally my favorite. If you like it, pick up another one and go from there. Most of the books are relatively short but all the ones I've read so far are amazing.
