This would be a good place to find out where to start. The latest version (1.21) is missing "A Hat Full of Sky", which is the third book in the "Maurice"-"Wee Free Men" arc. I am, of course, a huge Vimes fan, so i'd recommend the first row first.
I have a good friends who loves Good Omens...I thought that, like me, he'd come to it through both authors so one day I was talking about Discworld and he hadn't a clue. I was blown away that such a huge Omens fan didn't even know Discworld existed. I loaned him Small Gods ASAP and he is now devouring the books at a fairly rapid pace. I figured it's a nice stand alone that is heavy on the social commentary (which is my favorite aspect or the books) and is a good intro to the world. He's working throught the death series but I'm chomping at the bit to get him to the watch series as Vimes is my favorite as well. Besides, we're both journalists so he really needs to read Truth.
