Just finished reading Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett. Absolutely phenomenal. One of my favorite Discworld books I have read so far. Must read. A woman joins the army (an abomination unto Nuggan) in a repressive Patriarchal country it spirals from there.

Check it out! GNU Terry Pratchett.

@kemotep I've only read one Discworld book so far, Thief of Time, bought at Camden Market in London. Def need to check out his other stuff.

@xavierhm @kemotep the early books are funny but a bit weak narratively

The series really stretches its legs after guards guards, although some discworld enjoyers claim that the narrative heavy “the fifth elephant” lost its way

@xavierhm you should definitely check out Guards, Guards! And the rest of the City Watch books and Monstrous Regiment is really good in my opinion.

@xavierhm @kemotep I always find the idea of starting at Thief of Time interesting. It’s really a meta Discworld novel he wrote to deal with all the continuity complaints readers had that annoyed him.
