blopant (05/17/2015) [-] the discworld books have like 4 main storylines with a few spinoffs. (moving pictures the one you read was one such spinoff)
I'd recommend you keep reading but pick one of the main storylines and follow it.
the night watch or death storylines are personal favorites but there all pretty good.

shenanidingus ONLINE (05/17/2015) [-] The Xanth series by Anthony Piers. Great reads if you enjoy puns, sexual innuendos, and fantasy. It's a fantastic series.

The Art of War by Sun Tsu. It's a book I think most people should read, as most of its lessons have many applications far more practical than warfare. And honestly, it's not that long of a book.
Anything by Sir Terry Pratchett. He was one of my favorite authors. The only reason I say "was" is that he is no longer writing, due to having passed from this mortal coil.

kerfufflemachtwo (05/17/2015) [-] Definitely the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Currently 15 books in the series, and they are amazing.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is also a good choice.

crawlerz (05/18/2015) [-] I would say his first two books would be a great start.
"The Color of Magic" and "The Light Fantastic."
Those are his first two books, and it gives you a better feel of the world in my opinion.
The second one is actually a sequel to the first. I loved them both and have read them both several times. My favorite book is Mort, but I think you'd appreciate all of his books if you read them more in the order he wrote them, particularly because his world kind of evolves with the books. But I've read a few out of order, and I think they are all amazing even without the others.

I'll look into them when I get some spending cash again.
