Hogsfather is one of my favorites. As with a number of Pratchett's later works it starts out being amusing and ends up in this sort of paen of poetic musing on the nature of (insert poetic musing here). In this case, perception and how perception informs reality.

All of the Death centric stories are amusing to very good.

Wyrd Sisters was one of the funniest parodies of MacBeth/Hamlet I've ever read.

I will say, sometimes I enjoy his one off Discworld books (too numerous to list) and sometimes I find them a little too... too... and "here is the message" arch. And thus the library is a friend to sort the twain in two.
