Yes, it'd be good to start closer to the beginning.
Guards Guards is one of my friends favorites. I don't know about any one single one, though. More like any you can lay your hands on.

Yeah, I'd say Guards! Guards! or Hogfather.

In response to the Dirk Gently confusion, there are two books in that series: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.

I liked the 3rd book when you finsh the 5th book it might be a little confusing but its ok.

Oh, I wish I had been careful about spoilers. I didn't get any from the guild itself, but from other places on Gaia. sweatdrop People are so careless where they put spoilers.. how mean.

Personally the third book took me a long time to read for whatever reason. I don't know why, but I didn't like it so much. BUT KEEP GOING!
