Favourite reading order? (lemmy.world)

There are many ways to read the series, obviously, so I am curious as to what are people's preferred method.

I read them chronologically by publishing date the first time, then once by theme (Watch, Witches, and Moist novels first) and then been reading books here and there kinda randomly (although when I read one Watch novel, I tend to read all of them to the end, plus Raising Steam).

What do others do?

The first time through, I read them in publishing order, starting with The Colour of Magic. That way, I got to see how it all unfolded in real time, and got to watch Pratchett's skill grow (and eventually decline).

Since then, I've either followed specific characters (Vimes or Granny or Tiffany or Death) or just read whatever caught my attention at the moment.
