You do realise that asking that question about Terry Pratchett will get you, like, a hundred comments? It's irresistible. Reading order guides (it's an oft-discussed question): http://www.lspace.org/books/reading-order-guides/index.html
There are many and various suggestions about what to start with - you're already started on the Rincewind path, so you could read the next one with him in (Sourcery, which I adore), or if you wanted to start on the Sam Vimes / guards ones, you could try Guards! Guards! (which I adore about as much as I adore Sourcery).
The first witches (Granny Weatherwax) book is Equal Rites, which has the added benefit of being next in the order TP wrote them - but isn't all that great. You can also start the witches path with Wyrd Sisters (which I adore as much as Sourcery and Guards! Guards!). *g*
My personal recommendation would be Guards! Guards!. Some of the - IMO - best books are in that path. (But I love Rincewind best of all.)
Oh, and Small Gods is pure, unadulterated awesome, but isn't in any series. It's worth reading just for its own sake.
(This is my Pratchett icon, but it makes no sense until you've read Moving Pictures.)
I must read some other Lois McMasters Bujold - I've not read those, and they sound interesting.
