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?

Pratchett has been my favorite author bar none for the past 30 years. I coincidentally just finished rereading Guards Guards but pretty much all of the Discworld series is amazing. Silly fun, absolutely, but very often also with deeper insight, sometimes obvious, sometimes not so much.

I couldn't begin to think of anything that compares but if there is I'd love to hear it.
