Joseph:
So, say I have never read Discworld. Is the first book the place to start?
(I ask because I know they aren't all explicitly connected.)

I didn't mean that kind of face off.

onewheelwizzard:
Personally I tend to advise people to read "Thief of Time" first but that's because it's gotten the most consistently good responses from the widest audience, in my experience. "Guards! Guards!" is also a good spot because it kicks off one of the best sets of characters in the series. I think that as you go back farther into his career chronologically, his jokes get more and more dry and British, and his references get less and less recognizable. I'd recommend "Thief of Time," "The Truth," "Guards! Guards!," "Pyramids," or "Mort," which is an older one but definitely really really good.
pannic:
I was never a big fan of Pyramids, but the others I agree with. My first was Hogfather, which is new enough to make sense (20). Mort isn't a good first book in my opinion, but it is good when you want to start reading the series that's about Death- the character.
ledhendrix:
I started off reading "Guards Guards" and that got me hooked. Although starting off at the start would be a good idea as the first couple of books with rincewind are brilliant.
