Basically most Terry Pratchett books really. Some will take more than a day, but it's like a mix of Lord of the Rings and Monty Python. Whimsical and silly with some good moments that make you think.
The discworld collection is currently on humble bundle for cheap if you have an e-reader.
Can you provide a link? Searching for Terry Pratchett or Discworld doesn't give me any results.

Thanks. But it says unavailable in my area. 😕
The bundle or the claim website? You might be able to get around it with a VPN.
The bundle. I'm gonna try what you suggested and try with a VPN.
Oh thanks for the heads up!
I'll get these books because lots of people upvoted your comment, which makes me assume that they're worth reading. Is there any specific order that I need to follow books of this specific author?
I would start with The Color of Magic, I'm currently reading them in chronological order of release, but certain books cover certain main characters. Small Gods is probably another great place to start. But if you want a more instructive set of reading directions:
Most people prefer sub series.

I'll check the link that you shared. Thank you very much.
You're welcome! It's a fun world and as others have stated, "Guards! Guards!" Is a great jumping in point as well.
