That's interesting, because I often wish I had got into Terry Pratchett earlier in life (there was no shortage of opportunity!) but there's a chance I might have bounced off it, too.
As it was, I finally started Discworld in 2021 after a lot of indecisiveness about Where to Start, and read the City Watch books because they were said to have great character development. Definitely don't regret that as an intro to the series; it's excellent. But then I didn't really read more Discworld books until this year when I read Small Gods and then Going Postal as part of a buddy read with friends, and then checked out Making Money on my own. I will probably do Raising Steam once I finish the Watch re-read!
I recommend Going Postal et al if you like the City Watch books, they're a good set to go onto afterwards :D
