As well as the (first) Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I'll probably give them the Belgariad/Mallorean quite early, to get them hooked on the genre.

Eddings is a great intro to the genre.

Oh, and Pratchett. Definitely Pratchett.

Yes, but I'd wait till later for Pratchett. You have to have pretty darned good general knowledge to understand the humour of his books.
