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 read all of Discworld in the order in which they were published. I always felt that Guards Guards was where the discworld really came together and the world building had matured and given rise to the most incredible stories. I love all of the discworld books, but I am especially fond of the ones about the nightwatch.
