Night Watch shows an earlier Ankh-Morpork in a revolution it's almost independent from the other Watch books.Going Postal is set in Ankh-Morpork, but you don't need to have read the previous books to appreciate it it shows the city confronted with modernity, 19th-century style.Monstrous Regiment is good for a feminist.Mort introduces Death, and Guards! Guards! introduces Vetinari (the ruler of Ankh-Morpork) both are endearing Pratchett characters.Small Gods is good for someone who likes philosophy of religions.Witches Abroad is built on fairy tales.Wyrd Sisters is a good introduction for a Shakespeare fan.It's a good point of entry for habitual fantasy readers ( The Colour of Magic starts with a Leiber) spoof Light Fantastic is a direct sequel. I'm partial towards The Colour of Magic (the first book in the series) myself, but I know a lot of people don't like it. It is probably sentimentality that made me rate this one so highly, but it is such a perfect last novel in terms of sentiment and subject that I don’t even care.The Watch novels are really a series, I don't recommend starting in the middle (so, not The Fifth Elephant). Some of these dependencies are stronger than others, for example Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad make sense on their own, but Lords and Ladies is really a sequel to Wyrd Sisters. There's a reading order guide on L-Space, with a dependency graph by Krzysztof Kietzman ( also in picture form). Some novels have the same main characters as earlier ones, and they make more sense if you've read the earlier ones. This is a very often-debated subject… You'll want to tailor the choice to that person's taste.
