There are three Audible US books with 'other' narrators, the other 40ish books are narrated by Nigel Planer (#1 The Colour of Magic through #23 Carpe Jugulum) and Stephen Briggs (#24 the Fifth Elephant through #42 The Shepherd's Crown). I think you could start just about anywhere in the series on audio and do well. I own most of the series on audio, and I listen to them frequently. In the Watch books, Detritius especially comes alive via audio.

I find the Nac Mac Feegles extremely entertaining to listen to. The Tiffany Aching books are excellent on audio. One odd production note is the readers each that they pronounce Susan’s name differently which I find jarring. The Thief of Time is one of those, and Harlan Ellison reads all the footnotes. When Pratchett was really selling a lot, they started doing sound affects, and small multi-voice casts. Some of the later books have a higher production value.

I think maybe this same woman reads Equal Rites and I find that one fine on audio, so I should probably give it a try again. The reader of that book pronounces Magrat’s name differently than the rest of the series does, and just generally has a less enjoyable style. I think it’s Wyrd Sisters, but I’m not sure.

One of the early witch books is read by someone else, and it’s not as good. Nigel Planer and Stephen Briggs are the main audiobook readers, and they’re excellent. I started with Equal Rites as my first audio Discworld, and this is a series I often say is better on audio.Īlmost all of the unabridged versions are very good.

I did not enjoy the series until I listened to the audio books. Discworld is one of the only series I listen to nearly exclusively on audio.
