Especially since Terry was extremely pro-equality. I'm currently re-reading Equal Rites. He's always been good at writing proper strong women characters, without making them into "look, they can do the exact same thing the boys do!"

Yeah. Equal Rites is the third novel, but it's the first one to have the 'discworld style' - the first two are pretty different in a lot of ways.
It also introduces the coolest set of characters in the series

If you're gonna read the series, it's probably better to read them in something approaching the order they were written because even some of the most independent novels make references to events in other books, and you'll get more of a coherent sense of how the style changes.

I really like Kirby's old Discworld covers.

Book: Mort or The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents
Character: Death

Haven't read any Pratchett books in years though.
Apparently there are some Pratchett movies/TV-minis out for quite a while. Are they any good?

Also dat Josh Kirby art, made me pick up Discworld in the first place back in the... 90s?
