Answer 4

The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett can be read in publication order, starting with "The Colour of Magic" and "The Light Fantastic," or in the order of the different story arcs that exist within the series. Some popular story arcs include the City Watch books, the Witches books, and the Death books.

Answer 5

In order is best although they each tell their own story.

Answer 6

You can read them in any order - but they're more humorous if you read them in order because you learn who all of the characters are.
