Mine was Monsterours Regiment.
To this day it's still my very favorite even though none of my favorite characters were in it, except Death and Vimes in VERY small sections. I'm thinking about re-reading it soon. When I first read it, of course I didn't know about Discworld mythology or history or anything. Now that I do, it might be fun to go back and see some inside things I missed. It will probably be good for a laugh.
Oh, and am I posting too much?

Witches Abroad for me. Not my favorite anymore, but I still like Nanny Ogg muchly. But I liked it a lot at the time, since it was probably the first book I read that had female characters kicking a** in various ways. ^_^

The first Discworld I ever read was The Amazing Maurice and his Edcucated Rodents.
Then the Wee Free Men then Mort.
And I have to say my favorite still remains to be Mort today.
In the beginning I wasnt planning on reading any of the Pratchett books, it was only because we were on holiday and Id finished my other books that mum lent me her Pratchett one and I just loved it start to finish.
Now I have all the discworld collection including limited and signed editions.

I started with Color of Magic actually (as I'd discovered the L-space
webpage with so many funny quotes from it that I -had- to go out and
get the book). Then I moved, lost the book somewhere ( gonk ),
and didn't think much about Discworld until I heard about Going Postal.
Going Postal was the most awesome thing that ever awesomed, had
everything I could want in a story and made me fall in love with the
Discworld all over again.
Then I read NightWatch and now I've got to have everything with Sam
Vimes and the Watch in it heart

I attempted Mort and couldn't get into the world. In other words, I became confused and put it down.
The I got Sourcery, and suddenly everything made sense. One of the reasons that I adore Rincewind so much--he helped me to become acclimated to Discworld.

The Fifth Elephant. So I didn't know any of the characters. And thus could not grasp the awesomeness. emo I started getting random ones from the library, but they were all on different arcs so I decided I would walk into Barnes & Noble and buy the first Pratchett book I saw. Happened to be right when Thud! came out. xD It just got me hooked on the Watch series. heart

The Light Fantastic. Bloody Borders was out of The Color of Magic. stare Of course, to be fair the reason I tried 'em in the first place was Good Omens, but as that's not Discworld I assume it doesn't count.

The Truth. It was so good, and it was a really good book to start with, actually. Not too many references, and pretty stand-alone. Then I went from there.

I just lent my friend Carpe Jugulum. She loved it. When I was on the phone with her I said "Pratchett writes more books about Discworld and I think you'd like them." She had no idea what Discworld was, and I had to explain. It was pretty funny for me.

Night Watch. Im glad I did because I got to understand about Sam Vimes' background etc and what the Watch was like then as I read the other Watch books it made more sense.

I think the first discworld book I read was Gaurds Gaurds back in grade eight. I didn't know there were more. xd Then I read either Mort or The first one that was written. After that I read my all time favorite Discworld book, The Truth. I think he should do more with the news paper thing... or if possible TV, but that was kind of done in Moving pictures.

Mine was Weird Sisters. I had decided to try out Terry Pratchett by reading the Bromeliad trilogy first- that way, I thought, if I didn't like it, at least I hadn't spent quite so much time on it as on an "adult" book. Since I loved the Bromeliad, I decided to go into Discworld.
I spent quite a while looking through the books they had. I decided on Weird Sisters and Witches Abroad, and Pyramids. I read Weird Sisters, then Pyramids, then Witches Abroad, and I loved them all.
I actually used to have a list of every Pterry book that I had read, in order, including how I had obtained them and what I read with them, but I lost that. It might still be in my room at home somewhere.

I read a Tales of Discworld which had 3 stories in it: Pyramids, Moving Pictures and Small Gods. I still have yet to read all the older books. But I do adore the more recent ones since the style of his writing seems to only have improved with age and Discworld mythology gets more and more definred as we go along in the mythology!
We heart Pratchett
