My inclination is always to start at the beginning. Therefore "The Color of Magic" is my first suggestion. I was in the same place as you. Having finished The Hitchhiker trilogy and the other few books by adams I wanted something equally witty and humorous. I discovered Pratchett and Piers Anthony.
My second suggestion...read from there...they dont necessarily follow from one to the other but they read pretty well in the order printed inside the cover. Making "Light Fantastic" good as well. One of my personal favs is "Mort". I too read "Good Omens" and while I thought it was good it wasnt as good to me as the two real suggestions here, Color, and Mort. Both good reads.
