There are all these spreadsheets and guides to 'proper Discworld reading order' and I feel the youth are missing out on the true way to start reading Discworld
You are in the fantasy section of the library, you see a book with Josh Kirby's cover art, you think what the hell is going on here and then you never escape.

Strata (1981) by Terry Pratchett
Cover art by Josh Kirby
Corgi, April 1988

Discovering two of her employees have placed a fossilized plesiosaur in the wrong stratum, not to mention the fact it is holding a placard which reads, 'End Nuclear Testing Now', doesn't dismay the woman who built a mountain range in the shape of her initials during her own high-spirited youth.

You forget how breathtakingly awful the Josh Kirby Discworld covers are until you stumble across one after a long absence and stare dumbfounded at how literally nauseating they are. How many millions of potential readers couldn't get past the stomach-churning grotesques that time and time again seemed to be only tenuously connected to the book in question? Pratchett, a deft master of plotting and piercingly insightful wordcraft, in Josh Kirby covers is portrayed again and again as a writer of pantomime in which the novel's whole cast will seemingly blunder around on stage in an orgy of pratfalls and buffoonery. They're so overdrawn, so cluttered, so fleshy, so sweaty they make me ill just thinking about them.
