I think if you're recommending Discworld you need to be selective about what to offer up as "starter books" because (in my opinion) the earliest ones aren't a good starting place because they aren't the best of the books, but some of the later ones (some of the best ones) are basically unreadable as a standalone read and pretty much require having read earlier books to have a clue what's going on. e.g. I liked "The Fifth Elephant" but it's indecipherable without reading earlier City Watch books. Likewise, Hogfather is one of my favourite reads but (while readable) you have to have read earlier Death books to get the most out of it.
