And I'm doing a reread of Small Gods and discovered (again) that it is an excellent place to start. Beyond a minor role of the History Monks and of course DEATH, there is nothing you need to know from previous books. Heck, the story doesn't even take place in Ankh-Morpork. And I'm once again pleased and surprised how an avowed atheist could write such a thoughtful book about religion. Both the abuses and the joy. If you haven't read it yet, you really should.
