I've been a huge fan of Terry Pratchett for several years. I own 16 of his novels. They are all great.

First Terry Pratchett novel I read was the Hogfather too. =D
-
A good one to start with is "Guards Guards"

as an avid TP fan, i can tell you that you can basically start with every book - if you're fast on facts :) Terry usually gives a brief explanation in the beginning of the book about the Discworld.
But for starters you could try out Colour of Magic, followed by The Light Fantastic (both very awesome). Those are the first two Discworld books, and if you haven't started with Thud! or Going Postal yet (both 2 of my favourites) i suggest you do very quickly, because you'll fall in love! :D

try "good omens" by Terry Pratchet and Niel Gaimen which is actually the first witch book ... Not a discworld though
-
I've been looking to get into Pratchett but I haven't really known what book to start with. I bought Thud! Then Going Postal. But I didn't read either one... cuz again where to start?
I finally decided to get the first one Colors of Magic.... So know I'd like to ask you a question.
Which of the books can a person buy that will be a good introduction to the Discworld series?
-
are you going to do a review on small gods some day?i thought it was a deeply insightful take on religion.
-
If you like Pratchett & have an atheist mindset, chances are you'll love Douglas Adams' 'The Salmon of Doubt' too.
But then I'm always torn which of the two (Pratchett or Adams) is the better author.
-
Review could have been longer but I totally agree with you that its a brilliant book and a fantastic series
-
That is something new for me. Thank you. :)
I agree that Witches Abroad is a good place to dip into Discworld. Another one might be The Truth, which I think stands on its own very well as well.
