If you were going to recommend a Terry Pratchett book to someone who has never read any Pratchett and also isn't really into sci-fi or fantasy in a big way but who does have a sense of humour, which book would you recommend?
I think Going Postal is great too. The only back stories are the development of the semaphore 'clacks' system and the Ankh-Morpork Patrician. The story is more 'historical drama' than fantasy - I don't think this book even mentions the fact that Ankh-Morpork is the biggest city on the Discworld, and that this is a flat disc on the back of 4 huge elephants, standing on a giant turtle swimming through space.
