Pratchett has gotten dramatically better in recent years. The first few books were pure camp, then he borrowed from shakespeare for a while, then he started borrowing from any major canon that wasn't nailed down, and then he started doing a lot of work that is truly original. I'd still start people on the first ones, but only because the candy is seductive.
Dunsany - I think its really unfortunate that King of Elfland's Daughter is the novel that remained in print; the short stories are much more accessible.
