What is your all-time favorite from the Discworld novels (by the famous Terry Pratchett) ?

I have only read the first book so far but enjoyed it. I have a stack of books I want to get through and then I'll dive into more of the series. Any books I should be looking forward to, any I should skip?

The first couple are widely held to be the least good. I'd suggest jump into the Night Watch set (Guards Guards etc) or the Granny Weatherwax set (Wyrd Sisters etc) - they're widely held to be good starting points

(Edit: I appear to be fond of the phrase "widely held" today...)

I started with Guards Guards, and it was a great starting point.

I normally tell people to read authors in general in publication order--but as you said, Pratchett's early stuff was his weakest, and he has several good starting points. (I also don't like that one of his earliest dunked on one of my OTHER favorite authors. Luckily, he grew out of that behavior.)> @
