There are two of my favorite authors that are similar to each other.
Terry Prachett & Christopher Moore both of them are masters at the theater of the absurd satire.

My number one picks for this series are:
Reaper Man
Small Gods
Thud
Monstrous Regimen
The Fifth Elephanthe
The Hog Father
Mort
Jingo
Thief of Time
The Last Hero
The We Free Men
Going Postal

Christopher Moore writes everyman books

Practical Demonkeeping
Bloodsucking fiends
Island of the Sequined Love Nun
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
The Stupidest Angel" A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror
You Suck: A Love Story

Terry Pratchett is a genious!!
His work is creative and different and I can't get enough.
I love his work and am making my way through his collection of books.

I know. It is amazing how he can make you laugh out loud one minute and then make you think about life the second minute. I love Death, Sam Vines, Susan, Lord Vetinanary, Rincewind, The Lady, Cohen the barbarian, Carrot, Angua, Detritus, Mr Shine, Lady Margolatta, Spike, Granny Weatherwax, Munstrum Ridcully, Moist. They are hands down the best characters in all the books. Quite a lot of them. I still have to read i shall Wear Midnight.

I started reading a Terry Pratchett book when I was like 11, but couldn't get into it.
I haven't got any of his books.
But I was thinking about a month ago, to start collecting them and reading them.
My WHSmiths have the whole collection, but it's gonna be expensive!!

True. I know. I got the whole collection as a graduation gift from a friend. I recommend starting with the color of Magic and The Light Fantastic, Mort, Wyrd Sisters, Small Gods, Guards! Guards!, Reaper Man, The Hog Father (I started with this one because I saw the Sky One movie). The good thing about these books is that they may contain the same characters acting within the progression of time, the story lines are completely independent. The only exception would be the stories featuring Rincewind and the wizards.
