Any Discworld book with the Nac Mac Feegle I would recommend listening to the audiobook. It's just so much more enjoyable to hear the Nac Mac Feegle's speach being spoken then reading. The Nac Mac Feegle's speach is like a very heavy Scottish accent.
The people I recommend to start with one of the arcs too are unlikely to enjoy The Colour of Magic as much as say, Guards! Guards!. So far I haven't heard any complaints about those recommendations.

My opinion is that life is just too short to listen to audiobooks when your eyes are still fully functional. I tend to get engrossed with the book so not something I can do while driving or any activity requiring concentration.
