Nearly 40 here. Don’t like fantasy/sci-fi but I started the first discworld audiobook recently. It’s decent - I’m enjoying it far far more than I thought I would. I second the recommendation to go for it. But also don’t stick with a book you’re not enjoying just because it’s widely considered “a good book”. There are more books in the world than you could possibly read in a lifetime - life is literally too short to waste on books you think you should be reading.
There are two versions of the audio books. The newer ones by Penguin Audio are worlds better than the older ones.
Also- I’m on book 17 and most of them have been absolutely delightful. But there have been about four that I just didn’t get into. It’s not necessary to read them in order and skipping the ones you don’t enjoy doesn’t take away from the rest of the books. If there is anything you need to know from another book there is a little author’s aside that fills you in. I agree, no need to read something you aren’t enjoying.
