I prefer to read Discworld chronologically via the publication date. Unfortunately, that makes the end hit that much harder, but I still prefer it.
Ive been told to skip the first few books because it would set the wrong impression for the series.
No one ever said that to me and I've been through the series multiple times. Trust that Pratchett will get you there.
The first couple of books are definitely the weakest. But if you have made up your mind and are in for a long haul, it's not a bad place to start.
But yeah, when recommending Discworld to someone who is going to judge the entire series on his first book, there are much better starting points, like Guards Guards!
