The Wee Free Men is the first book of the Tiffany Series for younger readers (not dead yet, at least).

Most recently there's the Ankh-Morpork Series, describing the modernisation of the city under Patrician Havelock Vetinari and charting the adventures of the former con-man Moist von Lipwig and newspaper founder William de Worde.

Equal Rites can also introduce Ankh-Morpork. Equal Rites starts the Witches Series, although it doesn't include most of the cast beyond Granny Weatherwax, so Wyrd Sisters might well be used as a starter.Guards! Guards! starts the Watch Series, a natural for fans of detective novels, police procedurals and film noir.

Mort, the 4th Discworld Book, starts the Death Series.The book starts the popular Rincewind Series. Some people might prefer it, others will probably enjoy later books better.
