This is my first time trying out a Discworld novel and I'm super happy I did. I'm not far into the novel, but I'm already loving it. It takes high fantasy and mixes in hillarity, something I've not really found in high fantasy. I'm a Terry Brooks Shannara fan, since the '90's, and it takes itself so serious. Discworld is just silly fun like Douglas Adams doing Fantasy or Monty Python writing a book. I'm absolutely loving it and assuming it continues I'm absolutely checking out other Discworld books.
Anyone have any suggestions on other fun silly fantasy books like Discworld, or is Discworld the top of the pile?
There’s so many Discworld books, you might as well read them. The ones I have read have all been fantastic. My first was Guards, Guards! as well and then I went on to read all the City Watch books and then the Death books. I wish I was still reading them, but I haven’t been doing much reading in years. The Wizards books were next on my list. I just love the humor mixed with refreshing social commentary. Especially considering the books are older, it makes me happy to know that even in decades past, there were still people who knew better. Pratchett gave me hope for humanity/society and made me laugh at the same time
