There are many resources online regarding reading order / starting out suggestions (e.g. https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/). However I think the stories are usually light-hearted enough that you might as well start in the middle of a sub-series.
Well, where I live in the world (North Carolina, USA), I would imagine I’m somewhere between the middle of the ball (equator) and the top of the ball (Arctic). So yeah, that happens to be a position where none of the bubbles are in the middle. 😊
Flat earth confirmed?
It’d have to be. Otherwise how could the ground be level if we were on the side of a sphere?

I’m telling you, turtles. Turtles all the way down.
And elephants standing on top
And old ass lazy light that’s in no rush to get anywhere.
