Well, I would be interested to hear your favourites. I have close to 40
Pratchett books and have re-read eight since I started rating books.
Agnes Nutter's brilliant epic and the following Discworld titles:
2 stars (Pot Boilers)    Going Postal, Moving Pictures,
                         The Colour of Magic.
3 stars (Very Enjoyable) Mort, Hogfather.
4 stars (Brilliant)      Small Gods, Guards! Guards!
