I think from memory I started with Pyramids, then I think Sourcery, then Guards! Guards!, after which the fog sets in. I have read them all, not counting the YA stories.
I agree that the first two books -- three novellas, really, per volume -- should be left till later. Pratchett hadn't yet developed his world, and was satirising other sf fantasy books rather that the modern world at large. As soon as I read the first para or two of book 1, I said, aha, Frfhard and the Grey Mouser...
