I was amazed when I heard that mh boyfriend would like to try to read Terry Pratchett.
I totally love Terry, I was growing up on his books! But.. I do not remember too much from them. Well, not enough to recommend them to my boyfriend.
I described him main characters as death and he would really like to meet this character closer. Also he loves books with murder and some mystery.
How do you think? How to take somebody sunk into this world? What would you choose? Which books of this author you love and why?
I have only one chance to make him love Terry and I hope to do it right!
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your replies. You are an amazing community ♥.
OK you convinced me I am buying him Mort and then reading it myself (hehe)

My favourite is Hogfather, that a simple analogue for a Christmas story would turn into a deeper pondering on the nature of human imagination and its importance exactly sums up Pratchett to me.
If he likes the character of Death then Mort might be a good place to start, there aren't exactly any murder mystery books but the Watch focused books are almost police procedurals; Guards Guards is the best place to start there.
