Although they don't go in sequence as such you should start with the Colour of Magic which is the first in the Discworld series. You could read any of then but you appreciate the characters more having watched them develop. Also he often makes references backwards as it were which you'll miss.
I'm up to date with him, 5th Elephant is a re read for me.
Funny how things change for us. I spent ages reading crime fiction, lots of authors. Then I went onto science fiction/fantasy. Now it's mostly non-fiction. I seem to get into a loop and one leads to another then another. Then I feel burned out and don't read anything for a week or so then I need a complete change. What I've found is that there are precious few decent comedy books.
About the only genre I don't read is biographies, not in the slightest bit interested in the lives of the great and good. Oh, and books that win any kind of "prize" - never do anything for me.
It'll all loop round and I'll be back on crime again soon - I'm starting to miss it.
UglyMusic, if you like(d) The Colour of Magic I've got one or two other early ones which you might enjoy. I think one of them is signed by the man himself from when he visited Brighton many years ago.
Introducing HTML5 by Lawson & Sharp (work related, very good if you're in to webby stuff.)
About to start 'Deep State' by Walter Jon Williams - his latest and an author I like a lot so I'm hoping this is up to his usual good standard (even better if it's up there with his early books.)

As I play Monk and Coltrane at Carnegie Hall, the door bell rings and Robin DG Kelley's Thelonious Monk. The Life an Times of an American Original is delivered.
The universe is back in balance and running sweetly
I was impressed with Kathy's Kindle I bought one for me. It does play MP3 and read me bed time stories about long tailed pairs.
The read aloud feature is a good idea shame the voice is no Joanna Lumley.
I am going to get some more Terry Pratchett, oh well back to the Long Tail Pairs there being chased by a Current Mirror and a Cascode monster. Scary stuff, lights off.
No Brain Dead was due to Kathy beating my brains out with Germanium transistors and EL84 tubes, telling me that digital is now king. (she lies I hope).

A fascinating view on how evolutionary theory has overplayed natural selection and underplayed sexual selection.

Ben Hogan - Fundamentals of golf
Harvey Pennick - Little red golf book, still the best golf book around, must have read this a thousand times!
Must be me, as he seems very popular.
