I've read the early ones, and gave up. They weren't bad, but I couldn't understand why they were so popular. If the series gets better as it continues, I may pick them up again.
His early pre-DISCWORLD novels aren't that great either, and it wasn't until he had to deliver two novels a year every year with the DISCWORLD series that you saw him improving as a writer, almost book-by-book. The leap in quality between THE COLOUR OF MAGIC and GUARDS! GUARDS! (the eighth book, published five years later) is quite remarkable.
Discworld - Too many options!

Pratchett took a while to mature as a writer.

I'm with Werthead; but if you don't want to do that, read the standalones "Small Gods" & "Pyramids". *NM*

I didn't know "Where's My Cow?" existed! Neat.
