To the Thief of Time I just finished Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett and I LOVE the last few paragraphs of the book describing the encounter with Susan (who is fast becoming one of my favorite fictional heroines of all time) and Lobsang.
"Even with nougat, you can have a perfect moment."
Sigh.
... ... and wee free men would be a good place to start.
My personal top 5 favourites are:

23. The Way We Are by Margaret Visser
24. Introdu ... Hmm. Sounds also a bit like Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. ... either really love or really hate. I got a kick out of it because it took the ephemeral theoretical hodge-podge from Thief of Time (also one of those controversial books that I loved and others loathe) and gave it some "what are 'practical' outcomes/consequences of this?" play, but in ... ... (stand alone) or anything to do with Om (like Carpe Jugulum) and, um, the sweeper guy whose name I can't remember (like Thief of Time)
2. Rincewind series. I love the luggage and I have a strange affection of Two Flower. He is wonderfully disturbing. I'm actually kind of indifferent about Ri ... ... Gods
Soul Music
Maskerade
There are a lot of really good books after that (Carpe Jugulm, Fifth Elephant, Thief of Time...) but IMO, at this point the disc has matured and lost a bit of something.

Some of my personal favourites are The Truth, Thief of 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 ... ... than once (yet), so I'll say that one.
Since we're all cheating, I also love Small Gods and Mort, and I don't like Thief of Time or Colour of Magic as much as others. Though I do love the luggage.
I liked Thief of Time better the second time, though. I guess that says something ... I'll look into those, thank you. =)
21. Thief of Time - Terry Pratchett
22. Knight Life - Peter David
Not much to say on either of these, except I discovered that I really don't like modern Arthurian tales. The story was okay, but something about them bugs me. Or maybe it was ... My TBR list consists of all the fantasy books that my friend has loaned me:
First Knight by Peter David
Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
War for the Oaks by Emma Bull
The Ruins of Ambrai by Melanie Rawn
Not sure what order I'll read them in. Of course I've got 30+ ... ... - more than halfway through already and loving it. After I've finished that I'll go straight to Hogfather and then Thief of Time. My friend has loaned me these books and given me a strict sequence to read them in! fav: Small Gods ...(sorry reading_fox)
least: The Truth
Others favorites include Carpe Jugulum, Thief of Time, The Light Fantastic (partially because of the luggage), and The Fifth Elephant
My lowest rating is three stars, so the least isn't that bad.
PS: Reading_Fox... link ... #14 - you do realise that Terry didn't change artists intentionally - Josh Kirby died? Thief of Time came out in 2001 and JK died in October that year (aged 72). A friend of mine had tried to convert me for quite a bit time, but I was not really interested. Then my mother received Thief of Time as a birthday present, and I had run out of something to read. I started and have been a fan ever since, while she read it and hated it. ... the list that coffeezombie so thoughtfully provided, I can't quite remember which one I read first. I had thought it was Thief of Time because there would have been a review I'd read. No particular person had recommended it. I'm often getting great suggestions from magazines such as Hornbook ... I went off to the library and got Night Watch, A Thief in Time, The Truth, and Monstrous Regiment. I've now finished the first two and am halfway through the third, and I'm much more satisfied and pleased (and bust-a-gut laughing) than I was with The Colour of Magic. Now I understand ... ...
