s/o fantasy series: Discworld

[Anonymous]

I've tried to get into Discworld several times. When it comes to long running series, I always have to start with the first book. Problem being, I found the Color of Magic boring. I really loved the whole description of A'tun and all that (as well as the Big Bang joke), and on the surface the premise should be hilarious, but I just get bored after the first chapter of what's his face's cluelessness.

I know a lot of people rave about the series, and I really enjoyed Pratchett's collaboration with Gaiman on Good Omens. So. Is there a better jumping on point? What books would you recommend to get a newbie hooked on the series? What order do you think they're best read in? Or should I just give up and try some other series.
