Not gonna lie, now that I see this idea I may use it to catch up on all those discworld books and see what the fuss was all about and if any of them would entertain someone over the age of like 8.
They hold up better the older you get, because then you actually understand the real-life histories and media properties that Pratchett was satirizing, but his original sense of absurdist humor still rings out. Highly recommend Going Postal and Making Money for older readers especially.
There is a massive complexity drop off in his later books as the dementia began to set in though, so it's not like there is a level of consistent intellectual complexity or particular pattern to it by release date.
