Book Review: Discworld 1: 'The Color of Magic' by Terry Pratchett

“Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Certainly it refuses to succumb to the quaint notion that universes are ruled by pure logic and the harmony of numbers.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Colour of Magic

For a very long time, I've wanted to read through the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. I read The Color of Magic (or Colour if you have the British spelling) back in high school, and I've read The Light Fantastic and Guards, Guards somewhere in the intervening time since then. But this is hardly scratching the surface of the 41 book saga that is the Discworld series. So, I've started back from the beginning by reading through The Color of Magic once more (since it's been such a long time since I read it originally).
