The Watch stories are my favorite, with the Death and Witches stories close behind. I'm not as fond of the Rincewind/Wizard stories - but I'd still eagerly read one if a new one came out. I would not recommend starting with the first book, "The Color of Magic", Pratchett hasn't really shaken all the kinks out yet. I think I would start with "Guards! Guards!" from the watch stories or "Equal Rites" from the Witches stories, or perhaps skip over Equal Rites to "Weird Sisters".
