The Tiffany Aching story arc would be particularly appropriate -- The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith -- a little more accessible than some of the other Discworld novels.

I think there are other Pratchett fans around, though! 31.

You might also try Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series: The Wee Free Men, Hat Full of Sky, and Wintersmith.
These are both YA fantasy series. I love The Wee Free Men and so have read A Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith, as well. I've also read a random few of the "grown-up" Discworld books, but I don't have the overwhelming desire to go and read everything he's ever written. It's one of those series that I'll get to "some day."

I also love Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series about a young witch:
The Wee Free Men
Hat Full of Sky
Wintersmith
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer is also in my favorite series list. I started with The Wee Free Men and, loving it, went on to finish the Tiffany Aching series: Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith
All wonderful. Next is Colour of Magic.
Looking forward to Good Omens. 10/8/07-10/14/07:

I'm rereading Thud by Terry Pratchett, and listening to the audiobook for A Hat Full of Sky also by Pratchett. ... thing, but with even nicer incorporation of plants.
How about the Tiffany Aching series, by Terry Pratchett? Wintersmith has a nice focus on schooling as well. La puerta, Taos the art of fetching Sky : a biography of place ed. by Antoinette Nora Claypoole
Anita Rodriguez book cover ... great.
I could go on here so I'll round off with a mention for two of his "young adult" books, The wee free men and A Hat Full of Sky.
So yeah. After the first two, they're great! :) Terry Pratchett's Hat Full of Sky is full of laugh out loud moments. You can't beat little angry scottish pictsies for humor! #9, Pratchett has written several YA titles, The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, Wee Fee Men, A Hat Full of Sky, and I think a few others. They are indeed funny stuff.
#19, totally agree on The Bartimaeus Trilogy, often I found myself laughing outloud at Bartimaeus' footnotes. ... but I don't recall much talk about Discworld in that book. I am a big fan of YA fantasy and have The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky on my TBR pile. Thanks for the info, I look forward to more discworld novels ... Time, The Fifth Elephant, Soul Music, Jingo, and Hogfather. The young adult Discworld books The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith are excellent too, well worth reading.
The Death books and Watch books tend to be my favourites overall. ...
Least Favorite: I would have said Eric, except, well, I'm reading it again, and see above. So... I keep forgetting what A Hat Full of Sky is about, and I haven't read it more than once (yet), so I'll say that one.

I've read the series pretty much in order though I'm ... ... the world she's created and the nature of storytelling.
HP fans might also dig Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky, the former of which was so incredibly funny I almost fell out of bed laughing. Appeals to those who enjoy Rowling's one-liners and classic humor.
