Dark Side of the Sun and Strata

Bromeliad is excellent! The Johnny books are good too - although the first one feels kind of dated due to the computer technology mentioned in there. Johnny and the Bomb is possibly the best one.
I've only ever read Dark Side of the Sun and Strata once. I must read them again sometime - but they weren't really my cup of tea.
You'll get Discworld references in lots of them though. Maybe that should be proto-Discworld references in some cases.

Read them because of discworld but wouldn't rate strata or darkside very highly.
They lack the humour of terrys other works.
Bromeliad and jonny on the other hand are quite enjoyable. The nomes are great characters and jonny is a bit of fun.
The carpet people is another one of his books worth looking at. Its rewritten from its early version and is quite good.

I gave my copy of Carpet People to my mate, Mary, for her (then) 12 year old grandson.
He loved it, which is great, as he struggles with reading.
A few years ago, I gave him Where's my Cow? and he liked it so much (and he was much too old for it, technically) that everyone who came to visit his home had to sit and read it before they did anything else.

Don't forget The Unadulterated Cat by Terry. It's a very different book, but it's great fun.
I brought a copy of Unadulterated Cat for Sharlene and she spent quite some time badgering her friend at Harper Collins about them publishing the book in America (Sharlene used to own a book store). It's still not published in the US and I'm sure lots of Americans would love it.
Terry is a cat fan and wrote an article for a cat magazine, which I've posted on here somewhere I think.
