It's bloody great. I love the absurd humour and wordplay, the weird non linear plot, the black humour and satire of bureaucracy. Then you get hit in the guy with some really dark depressive shit. It really isn't for everyone, though. There ain't nothing like it. Well Kurt Vonnegut kinda has the same vibe in some of his books, but I love his books for other reasons.

I'd probably put a Vonnegut book in my favourites list as well but I couldn't decide which one!

Would it be benefitial to start 4 books prior to Night Watch, being The Truth or somewhere else?

Edit* I’ve just seen in readarr that the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is sectioned off so I’ve just started there ^^
