Small Gods is one of the most commonly suggested starting points, being a standalone. The Truth would be another I might propose (also a standalone, though more recent and more tied into the setting of the other books).
Starting with the first book (The Colour of Magic) is somewhat contra-indicated, as he hadn't really hit his stride at that point; it's a bit too much "make fun of High Fantasy" for many. (I thought it was "not great, but shows promise" and continued on to read the rest, which improved.)
