Here they are, in order of publication. So far the trendline shows that Pratchett gets better as he gets older, hooray for him.
1 The Colour of Magic 1983 Rincewind 1. 2 The Light Fantastic 1986 Rincewind 2. 3 Equal Rites 1987 The Witches, The Wizards 3. Excellent. 4 Mort 1987 Death 4. Boring. 5 Sourcery 1988 Rincewind, The Wizards 5. 6 Wyrd Sisters 1988 The Witches 6. Pretty boring with random references to Macbeth. 7 Pyramids 1989 Miscellaneous (Djelibeybi) 7. 8 Guards! Guards! 1989 The City Watch 8. Meh. 9 Faust Eric 1990 Rincewind 9. 10 Moving Pictures 1990 Miscellaneous (Holy Wood), The Wizards 10. 11 Reaper Man 1991 Death, The Wizards
11. The Death books appear to suck.
12 Witches Abroad 1991 The Witches 12. 13 Small Gods 1992 Miscellaneous (Omnia), The History Monks 13. Pretty boring but readable. Completely unrelated to everything else. 14 Lords and Ladies 1992 The Witches, The Wizards 14. I started it two days ago and can't recall what it's about, therefore it probably sucks. 15 Men at Arms 1993 The City Watch 15. 16 Soul Music 1994 Death, Susan Sto Helit, The Wizards 16. 17 Interesting Times 1994 Rincewind, The Wizards 17. 18 Maskerade 1995 The Witches 18. 19 Feet of Clay 1996 The City Watch 19. 20 Hogfather 1996 Death, Susan Sto Helit, The Wizards 20. 21 Jingo 1997 The City Watch 21. 22 The Last Continent 1998 Rincewind, The Wizards 22. 23 Carpe Jugulum 1998 The Witches 23. 24 The Fifth Elephant 1999 The City Watch 24. 25 The Truth 2000 The Ankh-Morpork Times, The City Watch 25. Awesome. 26 Thief of Time 2001 Death, Susan Sto Helit, The History Monks, The Witches 26. 27 The Last Hero 2001 Rincewind, The Wizards, The City Watch 27. 28 The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents 2001 Miscellaneous (Überwald) 28. Hooray! 29 Night Watch 2002 The City Watch, The History Monks 29. Has lots of Veterinari but otherwise a bit meh. 30 The Wee Free Men 2003 Tiffany Aching 30. Tiffany may be the best YA hero ever. 31 Monstrous Regiment 2003 Miscellaneous (Borogravia), The City Watch, The Ankh-Morpork Times 31. 32 A Hat Full of Sky 2004 Tiffany Aching, The Witches 32. Not as good as The Wee Free Men, but what is? 33 Going Postal 2004 Moist von Lipwig 33. A fine piece of Ankh-Morpork 34 Thud! 2005 The City Watch 34. 35 Wintersmith 2006 Tiffany Aching, The Witches 35. 36 Making Money 2007 Moist von Lipwig 36.
