That's just the scientific understanding of planet formation tbh. Does your religion explain why Hisanus is orbiting him, along with his two big blue icy balls?
Book number 3 is Equal Rites, Eskarina Smith is the main character. Like the first two it's shorter and less intricate than the later novels, but it's well worth reading and I approve of reading the Discworld books in publication order.
Nope! Honestly any order is fine, even completely out of order if you don't mind spoilers and are comfortable with a little confusion here and there.
Equal Rites is a Wizards/Witches crossover and helps set up some of the rules, but Pratchett's pretty good about explaining anything you're going to need in the moment he's using it.
I'm glad you mentioned standalones because Small Gods and Maurice are two of my favorites.

It does, but I'm not allowed to say.

Did he eat mars and spit up another Neptune?

(Just asking) Did AI slop machine eat Mars & poop out another really giant Neptue?
(The feline star seems accurate tho, no notes there.)

It looks to me that earth and Mars switched places, Venus shrank and Mercury is lost in fur. And we seem to have an extra copy of Neptune

Oh. I was wondering the same thing, and didn’t notice it is AI. That checks out.

And that's why astrology is different from astronomy.

I’ve only read the first two books (in publication order).

Ah, time for Equal Rites! He's just warming up really, but one thing he did in his last days was to come back around to Eskarina and Simon.

GNU Terry Pratchett

I was gonna read each collection in turn, like wizards, witches, death, city watch, etc., and occasionally a standalone.
Is there significant reason to avoid doing it that way?
