Second vote for Discworld

Guards! Guards!

Mort

Wyrd Sisters

Are all good places to start.

Small Gods is my goto reccomendation for starting points, it's completely self contained and one of Pratchett's best works

That's a good thought on starting points.

Thirded. Discworld is great.

Small Gods and Reaper Man ftw.

Just to add that the BBC has done good audio dramatisations of several of Pratchet's works.

Small Gods and Mort for example, are excellent. Currently not available on bbc iplayer / sounds, although they do regularly rebroadcast them and make them available online, but should be floating around on the torrent or archive sites.

BBC sounds/radio is free to listen outside the UK, unlike the tv content.

All solid choices!
