The Colour of Magic is a 1983 fantasy comedy novel by Terry Pratchett, and is the first book of the Discworld series. The first printing of the British edition consisted of only 506 copies. Pratchett has described it as "an attempt to do for the classical fantasy universe what Blazing Saddles did for Westerns."
On re-read I was very disappointed. It focuses too much on the comedy and forgets to tell a story.
Full review here.
I almost didn't want to re-read this one because it is so overshadowed in my mind by the series it would spawn. It's weirdly structured and unfocused - more like four sequential short stories than a novel - but it's still an incredible romp across the freshly imagined Discworld (and beyond).
