Where do I start? Been meaning to get into the world.
As another poster mentioned if you want to see if you like the world/writing style very generally-- Small Gods.... arguably the best book in the series, and certainly the best stand-alone one.
The world in general is the same between all the books, but there's a number of ongoing storylines where certain folks/areas are the main characters (Rincewind, Death, the Witches, the City Watch, the Wizards, Tiffany Aching, and Moist Von Lipwig are the main ones).
Personally if you like Small Gods and want to dive in I recommend folks read in publication order- you get sequential worldbuilding that way... and even in stories not about a given group there might be little references/jokes you'd only get having read something previous... but I've also known folks who just strongly prefer one or two specific storylines and skip a lot of stuff in storylines they're not into. I don't understand them but I know them.

Great deal. Format is Kobo though so take that into account. Converting to Kindle and the like might take some effort and not be perfect.
