Now Reading:
Long work - Guards! Guards! - Pratchett [Discworld #7]

 
Isn't Guards! Guards! #8?
 
I just recently started reading the Discworld series for (what I
thought was) the first time.  Turns out the first two or three were
really familiar - I probably read them back when they first came out.
Just finished Sourcery yesterday. I've got #6-9 on the shelf waiting
to be read.
 
Anyway, Wikipedia lists the first nine as:
 
1. The Colour of Magic
2. The Light Fantastic
3. Equal Rites
4. Mort
5. Sourcery
6. Wyrd Sisters
7. Pyramids
8. Guards! Guards!
9. Eric
 

 
You are exactly right - thanks. I miscounted while (lazily) using the
list of titles on the pre-title page.

Let me introduce you to http://lspace.org, the Pratchett wiki. It has
several readings guides, including

Most agree that the first few written aren't as good as later ones PTerry
was learning his craft.
