I know many of you read Terry Pratchett. I'm wondering where to start with his Discworld books. I've read and quite liked the Tiffany Aching books, and I love Good Omens. I tried a couple of Pratchett's other books when I was in high school in the 80s and didn't enjoy them at all. I can't recall titles at this distance, though.

Anyway, I'm thinking of giving more Pratchett a try. I'm just intimidated by the sheer number of books I have to choose from. If I stick with what the library has my choices are limited but still very broad. I have no way of narrowing things down.

A search for Terry Pratchett in the library catalog brings up the following: Nation; Guards, Guards; Unseen Academicals; The Colour of Magic; Snuff; The Light Fantastic; Mort; Equal Rites; Sourcery; Hogfather; Making Money; Small Gods; Going Postal; Carpe Jugulum; Feet of Clay; Pyramids; Interesting Times; Jingo; Reaper Man; Night Watch; Monstrous Regiment; Soul Music; Moving Pictures; Maskerade; Thief of Time; Lords and Ladies; Men at Arms; The Dark Side of the Sun; The Truth; The Last Hero; Only You Can Save Mankind; Thud; The Last Continent; Johnny and the Dead; The Long Earth; Diggers; Wings; Johnny and the Bomb

I'd appreciate any suggestions as to which of these books are worth my time. If somebody has a strong recommendation for a different specific book, I might consider buying one to try (especially if I can get it as an e-book), but the library seems like the place to start.
