Read all of his Discworld. The books involving the witches (Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat Garlick, and lately Agnes/Perdita) are great, especially if you've read a bit of Shakespeare. My personal favourites, though, are the Night Watch novels. Nobby Nobbs is the Man, err, ape, err...
"Guards, Guards" and "Jingo" satirize fantasy conventions and political/nationalistic ideas. Absolutely fabulous.
The Dread Portal password sequence in Guards, Guards is itself worth the price of the book.
