Basically most Terry Pratchett books really. Some will take more than a day, but it's like a mix of Lord of the Rings and Monty Python. Whimsical and silly with some good moments that make you think.
I'll get these books because lots of people upvoted your comment, which makes me assume that they're worth reading. Is there any specific order that I need to follow books of this specific author?
