What andyl was trying to get at is that you don't have in your personal library The Colour of Magic, you have 'The Color of Magic / Terry Pratchett (ISBN 0061020710)' or 'The Colour of Magic / Terry Pratchett (ISBN 0552124753)' or one of an unbelievable number of other editions. They may have ...

6. Colour of Magic - Terry Pratchett The Discworld series was a rather late discovery for me, but so far (only two books actually) I really enjoy it.

>138 kcs_hiker, that's disappointing, though after reading about 50 pages in Color of Magic not entirely surprising. I have to say I really enjoyed the first several Pratchett books I read -- the Tiffany Aching series really suited my (admittedly odd) sense of humor. >148 dchaikin, I might ...

#138 kcs_hiker - for what it's worth, The Color of Magic is Pratchett's first discworld book, and it's generally considered one of his weakest. If you ever try again, consider Small Gods. But, as for the SFF aspects, well Pratchett is really more about satire (and silliness) than fantasy.

... me in on that group read... I've actually never read The Mists of Avalon ... and I probably need to >120 Bell7: I read The Color of Magic... and haven't touched a Pratchett since, despite having repeatedly heard him touted as one of the best SFF authors ever.

... A Walk in the Woods, and The Dark is Rising Currently listening to -- Captain Alatriste Stopped reading -- The Color of Magic Edited to fix touchstones

I stopped reading The Color of Magic for now. Eventually I'll return to it, but I just have to be in the right mood to enjoy the humor. I finished listening to The Tenth Circle today. I enjoyed it, though the ending was not unexpected. I've started reading A Walk in the Woods for ...

... it. I don't generally reread books I've hated, but I do reread books I couldn't finish, or just didn't like very much. The Color of Magic is one of those that I have never been able to actually get through, despite the fact that I adore Terry Pratchett.

I'd heard so many raves about the Discworld series, so I figured best to begin at the beginning. Unfortunately, The Colour of Magic was disappointingly dull, and I had to really work my way through it. As most of the commenters mention that to be the case, I will return to Pratchett at some ...

I started The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett, but put it down when my mother was diagnosed with an illness and came to my house for an extended stay. I heard so many good things about the book, and I wasn't finding it funny. I wanted to wait until that was at least a possibility. So, ...

... Wednesday Sisters before I start on The Host, but it'll be tough! Then I'll likely start the Bartimaeus Trilogy, or The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. At any rate, I'll be reading any two or three of those for the next week or two.

Finished No. 71 Starting No. 72 Terry Pratchett's The Light Fantastic Given that The Colour of Magic ends with a ummm cliff-hanger I thought I'd carry on with the next in the series. A re-read not taken from the TBR pile. Still 59

Starting No. 71 Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic I have enough of a cold and general feeling of being run down to want something a bit lighter than the Ovid, which is proving heavy going. This is a re-read, and not from the TBR pile, which is therefore unchanged at 59.

33.The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett 34.Life the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams 35.Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

Reaper Man and The Colour Of Magic, bought while I was working at Barnes & Noble. I was laughing so loudly in the back room that the manager lectured on me 'maturity.' I also bought Night Watch in Paris, France, at the original Shakespeare & Co. bookstore. I just like telling people that.

has to have a colour in the title not the word colour itself, e.g colour of magic black thorn, white rose by Ellen Datlow snow white, blood red by Ellen Datlow blue diary by Alice Hoffman golden (once upon a time) by Cameron Dokey green angel by Alice Hoffman

... As far as the first in the series not necessarily being the best, that is where the summary will come in. For instance, "The Colour of Magic is the first book in the series; however, Equal Rites is the best book to start with in the series," could be written.

... encourage them. For example, a kind friend decided that as I hadn't at that stage read any Pratchett, she would lend me The colour of magic. Out of politeness, I finished it, but wasn't moved to pick up another. Only a year-and-a-half later did I look at Equal Rites (no. 3 in the series) ...

Finished The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett. I liked this book. The drastic differences in the main characters , Twoflower (who is up for anything), and Rincewind (very serious and would rather stay home), was entertaining. The luggage was my favourite. A real quick read. 2008 book ...

My favorite is probably Thud or Night Watch; I'm a HUGE Vimes fan. Least favorite would be The Color of Magic.

... is Mort, although I loved Eric. Both of them had me laughing out loud over and over again. Least favorite was Colour of Magic. I'm glad I kept going after that one, because I liked it all right, but not enough that normally I would have bothered reading any more by him, if I hadn't ...

If you enjoy fantasy, you might try any of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books--the first is The Color of Magic although you can start anywhere in the series. They are so funny and also great social commentary.

The thing about Color of Magic is that it's not really representative of the series as a whole. And the newer books absolutely blow my mind . . . I tend to recommend Guards! Guards! as a starter, or else Wyrd Sisters, the latter especially for Shakespeare fans. Color of Magic I think ...

mpramanik - Just be patient with Discworld. If you don't love Colour of Magic, try Guards!, Guards! or one of the other beginnings to a series within the series. Then if you don't like it, perhaps it isn't your thing. I really loved Color of Magic though. And welcome!

20. The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett 21. The Kin by Peter Dickinson

My first one was Colour of Magic. I liked it, but I wasn't blown away, by any means. I'm so glad I kept going!

I would add The Wicker Man, Chocolat and anything from Studio Ghibli. Hogfather and The Color of Magic ...

I know I started with the Colour of Magic and that I gave that away several years later to get someone else started. Consulting my bookshelves I find my copy of the Light Fantastic dates from 1986, so I probably bought both in the mid-80s in the days The Forbidden Planet was a small shop in Den ...

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett

I started with Monstrous Regiment, but then went and restarted with The Colour of Magic. I've had many of my friends bug me about Pratchett and so when I went to the Oakland Museum's White Elephant Sale, I went looking for cheap used copies. MR was the only Pratchett still available when I ...

... I enjoyed Mort more; it made me laugh more. Those are the only two Terry Pratchett books I've read recently, but I did read The Colour of Magic a long time ago. I don't remember much about it now, other than Rincewind and the walking chest. Mort and Reaper Man have me hooked, though; I'd say ...

I started at the beginning with The Colour of Magic when it first came out in paperback ... 1983 ... and have bought and read every one of the "main" Discworld series as it's been published in paperback.

... Discworld novels it seems that tastes vary a lot. I'd recommend reading the first books of the various story arcs (e.g. Colour of Magic (Rincewind), Mort (Death), Equal Rites or Wyrd Sisters (Witches), Guards! Guards! (Night Watch) to see which ones you like. In my experience, after ...

The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett 221 pages / 1983 / 3.5 stars / Fantasy The Color of Magic is Terry Pratchett's introduction to the concepts, characters and ideas that he will build on to make his Discworld series. It suffers a little from what I call "first-book-in-a-serie ...

I always recommend starting with Guards Guards to get a good feel of the Discworld itself, then go back and start with Colour of Magic and work your way forward from there in published order...

The Colour of Magic was the first Discworld novel I read and it is also the first in the series. The next one is The Light Fantastic which I have on my bookshelf but haven't read yet. Then comes Equal Rites I think. I have read that you don't have to read them in any particular order though.
