As we progress along in our journey through the Discworld, we’ll be indulging in the wholly frivolous – but nonetheless obsessively detailed and perhaps passionately argued – process of ranking every book in the series. Our list is an amorphous, ever-changing beast, not unlike the Discworld itself. At the end of each episode, we’ll decide where the book we’re focusing on fits in. Here’s the list as it stands:
- Night Watch
- Lords and Ladies
- The Fifth Elephant
- Feet of Clay
- Hogfather
- Pyramids
- Guards! Guards!
- Small Gods
- Maskerade
- Going Postal
- The Truth
- Wintersmith
- Mort
- Men At Arms
- Reaper Man
- I Shall Wear Midnight
- A Hat Full of Sky
- Witches Abroad
- The Last Hero
- Monstrous Regiment
- Carpe Jugulum
- Moving Pictures
- Wyrd Sisters
- The Amazing Maurice & His Educated Rodents
- Thief of Time
- The Shepherd’s Crown
- The Wee Free Men
- Jingo
- Interesting Times
- Thud!
- The Light Fantastic
- Making Money
- Soul Music
- The Last Continent
- Equal Rites
- Snuff
- Unseen Academicals
- Sourcery
- The Colour of Magic
- Raising Steam
- Eric
Small gods is better than you give it credit for (In my opinion, it’s subjective)

If you listen to our episode on it, its position on the list is very much an uneasy compromise. I (Colm) loved it, but Steve was less enamoured, so we had to settle on a position that didn’t really reflect either of our individual opinions.
