The only problem with Sorcorer for a new player is that you really have to know your spells, because once you've picked one you're stuck with it and you only get to add spells as you level up. I'd probably recommend an Elven Fighter/Mage if you're into spell casting. You can take a bit of damage, hold a decent sword or specialise in longbow, and safely cast spells/fire arrows from a distance. It'll allow you to get a good feel for the game if you're new to it.
If you're familiar with Baldurs Gate/Icewind Dale discount all that I said and pick any class. They're all good in my opinion, it's just some are easier to play than others.
