pratchett's an unusual one, I started reading his books from the middle (Witches Abroad) and read all of them in a random order.
The unusual thing is they do improve, up until book 14 or 15, but then theres a drop-off as he gets less and less funny up until he finally starts getting back into his stride at around book 23 or 24

Just my opinion.

I think that his most fully realized book has to be Small Gods, though.

Yeah Small Gods is a great book, but Witches Abroad is probably the second most laugh out loud funny.
Nightwatch is definitely his best book in broader terms, I think. It's the only one I actually felt moved by.
