If you end up loving Vagabond I highly recommend Slam Dunk, it's by Inoue (the mangaka) as well and its about basketball. I was never really into the sport that much, but Inoue made me cheer at the edge of my seat for the main story's team. Its also a lovely story about someone that doesnt know much about basketball slowly falling in love with the sport too.

Glad you're reading Vagabond! It's one of my absolute favorites. Also fun fact, the mangaka Takehiko Inoue's previous work was a long running basketball series called Slam Dunk, which is considered one of the most iconic and influential sports manga ever written, and you can tell he is passionate about the sport (he also teaches and coaches kid basketball leagues over here in japan). Inoue is one of the most respected managaka in recent manga history and seems like a genuinely cool dude. Vagabond, Vinland Saga, and Berserk are usually considered like "the Big Three" of seinen manga, kinda like how "the Big Three" of Shonen were One Piece, Bleach, and Natuto (though only OP is still going haha with many other Shonen being put in as candidates for the other two unofficial slots lol).

I'm glad you're reading Discworld. Equal Rites is the first book to feature one of the witches, but I'd argue that Wyrd Sisters is where the series really begins. The first one feels like reading a Vimes book without Ankh-Morpork, Colon, Nobby, Carrot, or Vetinari. It's an enjoyable read, but I'd recommend waiting until Wyrd Sisters before you decide whether the series is for you.

Regarding reading order, I personally am planning on reading through book 5 of the Watch Novels, then going back to read the Rincewind Novels that starts with book 1.

To be clear, this is based on limited knowledge of research and advice I’ve been given. I’m on my 5th book only as I said, maybe others will say you can read all of The Watch without reading the Industrial Revolution. Fortunately (to my understanding), the Witches Novels are largely an isolated story line, so you can go to that series and read it entirely without issue.

I recently started Re:Zero (the Anime) and I can highly recommend reading it. The original is not a Manga, it's a Light Novel, but the people that love it call it "peak fiction" and I can't disagree. The setup genre (Isekai) may be weird if you've never read such a story, but the basic premise of the story is really good (teaser below) and the characters are surprisingly deep with rich backstory. It has a very unique way of fleshing out characters, while the story takes various different turns. I just ordered the first volume that starts after the Anime ends and I love it! Small teaser / basic premise: The main character gets teleported from our world into a fantasy world and gets cursed. Every time he dies, time gets rewinded to a random spot in the past and he is the only one to remember what happened. This way, we get to see various different sides of the characters (the good, the bad, the ugly), while the story can take various turns.
