As jgaiser wrote, you could pick up any book just to see how you like the style.
The first Discworld book I read was "The Fifth Elephant".

I'm sure each fan of the Discworld books have their own favourite(s) (if I'd be pushed to chose just 1 book it would probably be "The Night Watch") but I would recommend you start with "Guards! Guards!" and go on from there with the whole "Watch" series.

For me "The Watch" series is way above the other ones.
After this comes the "Witches" series.
Special mention outside of the "Watch" series would be for "Thief of Time", "The Truth" and especially "The Monstrous Regiment".
