Guards! Guards! - Terry Pratchet - Discworld novel (lemmy.world)

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?

In case you arent aware, there are smaller "series" within discworld that you can read through, but because Sir Terry Pratchett wrote whatever he wanted whenever it can be hard to know which books to read in what order. If you're like me and liked Vimes and Carrot enough to read book two, check out this link for more info on reading order: https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/
