I don't remember which book I tried, but I remember bouncing off Discworld when I tried it. Don't even remember what didn't vibe for me, just that I were 'huh, I don't get it' and moved on. But given everything I've learned about Pratchett since and all the quotes I see you all pass around, it has come to confuse me.

Is there a particular book you all recommend for me to start from if I try it again?

I have some recommendations to start from, but absolutely still appreciate further recommendations. I just picked up a book from the library that I need to get through before I grab another (personal limitation, just because I know I'm more likely to actually follow through on reading before they're due if I pace myself like this).

Am mildly irked that a couple of the ones recommended that sound like they might suit my tastes are ebook and audiobook only. >.< My particular flavor of neurospicy does not handle ebooks and audiobooks well. Fuck knows what the problem is with the ebooks, since I literally spend all day reading shit online, some of it long form even, but audiobooks are absolutely I can't find that delicate balance point of "enough to do" while listening to keep the ADHD from sabotaging me, but not too much to keep me from actually processing what I'm listening to. I hate my brain sometimes.

@deathkitten that sounds exactly like me. I can read fic on AO3 all day, but give me an ebook and I'm noping out after a few (2) pages lol
