I can see that Discworld is pretty addictive. Once you get past CoM/LF which as I've said in the past was much too much in the flavor of Xanth novels in that it went out of its way to set up jokes/puns, then tended to wave them in your face and say "See what I did there? Aren't I clever?" Perhaps Pratchett didn't know how many DW novels there'd be, and wanted to get a lot of stuff laid out quickly.
I don't know what order G,G was published, but it was quite funny, told a good story with interesting characters, and didn't bother me any with smugness.
In any case, it's easy enough to toss one on the MP3 player when I'm in a hurry and don't feel like starting another 75-part lecture series right now.
