Although Going Postal is the first Moist book, The Truth is the first "Industry" book and I think it's best of the lot. Going Postal is still great though (much better than the later industry ones).
Sorry, I was wrong. Good Omens is the collaboration.

I had my copy of Good Omens autographed by Gaiman, whence I remarked that I needed the other half now (this was 2011). Gaiman responded, "You'd better hurry up about it."
Sorry, Sir Terry :(

I don't think Small Gods is a collaboration, that's Good Omens.

Yes.
Extending this comment, Good Omens is an excellent book, but not anything like the Discworld series.
Small Gods is a good discworld book to start on (the best in my opinion, of course everyone will have their own).
Seconding Going Postal. It should be noted it's an especially good fit for the Hacker News demographic, parodying hacker culture and even referencing GNU.
My favorites are all Moist_von_Lipwig books. I recommend starting with Going Postal. Its comes much later in chronological order, but is the first Moist_von_Lipwig book and is enjoyable standalone.
