Interesting that you would describe this one as the first you would recommend in series order to a "newbie," since I recently resolved to give Pratchett another try...but being a residual completist, I actually started with the Color of Magic..

And like I said, that's where I started too, but for someone not a completist . . .

What did you think?

If I ever get past the truly amazing bottleneck that has developed in my well-intentioned-but-thus-far-poorly-executed noveau book log-thingy, I will tell you at greater length...but, "better than expected" is probably the best encapsulation that I can give. My taste/tolerance for parodic shenanigans is pretty low, and Rincewind and whassisname (the tourist guy) were pretty doofy, but Pratchett has a fairly deft touch and there were some genuinely fun parts, so.
