Equal Rites was one of the early ones where he hadn't really found his feet yet. There are ideas (and characters, for that matter) in it that are fairly interesting, but are developed much more successfully in later books.
My first was Interesting Times, which boggled me at first with an onslaught of characters and places that I felt I should have known more about (Dibbler? Ank-Morpork? Sausages? Eh?), but before long it settled into the main plot and, though a 'sequel', was well-explained for those who'd missed the previous episodes and enjoyable enough to hook me. After that I read Feet of Clay which really got me into it.
