Ever read the Discworld books? Been struggling to find a way to describe them. Once I read my first one, I plowed all 41 books in a couple of months.

They're laugh out loud funny at times, but there's plenty of punch as well. So many references and puns and jokes, it's impossible to catch them all on a single read. Lots of fans read them over and over again, and have done do for decades. We still find something new. Just can't grasp how Terry Pratchett could have been so brilliant.
