DO NOT start them on those! They are his weakest books. I have accidentally turned several people off him, permanently, like this.

My favorite is Small Gods, but I think Going Postal and Making Money are also excellent starting books.
I am one of those people turned off Pratchett after reading The Colour of Magic (can't remember if I even finished it). So I have always thought of him as overrated, but I am willing to give him another go, starting with Small Gods I think; I assume I do not need much prior knowledge of Discworld?
