I'm making my way through the Strugastky brothers' works, found out about them through roadside picnic but i just finished "Monday starts on Saturday" and enjoyed it just as much. Edit to add: it's a science fiction novel from the perspective of a soviet programmer who stumbles into magic. He meets a lot of people for whom magic is mundane, and the book does such an awesome job describing his confusion and curiosity vs everybody elses acceptance of it as day-to-day. Its also super funny :)

I recently started reading the discworld series by Terry Prattchet and I'm really enjoying it. It has just so absurd humor.

Your book reminded me of "Harry Potter and the methods of Rationality", which i read a few years ago. The setup is lously based on Harry Potter, however Harry tries to take a scientific and rational view on magic. It is one of my favourite books.
