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?
I’m really enjoying it and really excited about it if this continues. I read Douglas Adams a while ago and his stuff just got stale for me as it was silly, but it felt methodically so. So far this is great and I’m really looking forward to more.
I understand that envy though. When you love something and wish you could share it with others and feel their enjoy when they first experience it. Finally watched Casablanca the other day for the first time and wow, so amazing. Been trying to dive into new things as there’s just so much wonder and unknown in all this stuff that it feels so fresh compared to the same rehashed movies we’re constantly fed today.
