It depends on your tastes. I started with equal rites and wasn’t disappointed. Don’t start with I Shall Wear Midnight though. There are a lot of excellent places to start and that just isn’t one of them.

Seriously though, Mort, Guards Guards, Pyramids, Going Postal, Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, or The Colour of Magic.

Actually no. Small Gods. Nobody was ever disappointed by Small Gods. It’s a one off. It’s funny and clever and makes you think. It’s not his best by any means but it’s around where he hit his stride. It’s chronologically separated. Read Small Gods, it’s excellent.

The problem Small Gods faces is that books like the thief of time, raising steam, late watch books, and everything with Tiffany Aching exist. It’s around where he hit his stride, but it doesn’t leave you sobbing like I Shall Wear Midnight or The Shepherds Crown. It’s somewhere in the middle of an excellent series. I don’t want to recommend the best when someone starts, but I want to recommend something that will get people to stick through sourcery and such.

But yeah I do love it
