But you'll probably enjoy The Colour of Magic even without that. And most of the rest of the books are a lot lighter on references to other fantasy stories and a lot better for it, IMO.
There's an excellent reading order guide here: link to god awful and 100% wrong reading order removed

Why the heck did you have to link to that god awful reading order list? It's just so wrong and so bad. Terry Pratchett says the reading order is in the published order. Pratchett does not recap much and if you read out of order, you will get a lot of huh? and a lot of spoiled bits.
