Guards! Guards! is really the place to start there. The Death/Susan books are usually good, and the newer Witch books (focusing on Tiffany Aching) have been good, even if they are intended as children's books. The Rincewind books are my least favorite, particularly the first few. If you wanted to read those, I'd start with <s>Faust</s> Eric - that's when they start picking up. Rincewind sort of has a 'Fate's chosen hero' vibe to him, whether he wants to actually be a hero or not. There are also some standalone books that might get you into the style of the writing. Pyramids, Small Gods, and Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents are the best of these. I'd avoid Monstrous Regiment - it had one character I cared about (Jackrum), and really just one joke.What kind of story does your brother prefer? The different series have different feels, and that might influence how he likes them.</blockquote>
