My first Discworld books were The Amazing Maurice and Wyrd Sisters.
My first Discworld books were The Amazing Maurice and Wyrd Sisters.

I’m not sure at what point in his career they were written but they’re good.
Wyrd Sisters is the sixth book. There's still two not-so-good books after it (Pyramids and especially Eric) before you got to Moving Pictures and consistently fantastic territory (For that I think Ridcully plays quite a big part. He very much grounded the magical aspect of the universe which was very unfocused in the first nine books) but at that point it's definitely the best one so far. Mauriece is smack in the middle of the genius run in the 20's. Right between my two personal favorites (Thief of Time and Night Watch).
