I started with Color of Magic, but didn't really get into it much. It was fine writing, but nothing very special. Then I read some later works and realised that he got much better. As there's no reason to read them in order (as you say), this means that you probably shouldn't!
(My favourite is Night Watch, but I've still only read a few, so you should probably ignore that.)
I went to a talk by Pratchett and he pretty much admitted the same thing. He suggested starting with book 6 or so. :)
