How to read them? Spiralling from the centre outwards. No wait that's something else.

Anyhow, IMHO, books one and two are fine, they are funny, but they are a series of parodies of typical fantasy tropes. Book three - which is relatively weak, again IMHO - is the first which calms down and actually becomes a real novel. Book four is still one of my favourites.

So, if you were to read book 1 or 2 and didn't like it because the story was a mess then maybe try Mort, or Guards Guards. If you didn't like the jokes then, maybe Discworld is not for you because the sense of humour is the same.
