    As I haven't read Pratchett, I can't really say, but if You like funny books, read Good Soldier Svejk

        Christopher Moore is somewhat similar in style, I believe.
        “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
        - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

          I reccomend books written in whatever language you're familiar with.

            I assume you've done all the Douglas Adams stuff, right?

              I'm just saying, given the comment and the context, this is kind of funny.

                TP isn't easy to match - have you tried Asimov ?
                With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                    While I like TP and have most of his books, he isn't that great.

                      He's like the "Firefly" of authors. Good, but massively overrated.

                        No. Just no.
                        You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

                          Which if course is neither Fantasy nor the Style you are searching for, yet its hillarious.


                          For Funny Fantasy check A. Lee Martinez, although these books are more appropriate for reading Bedtime Stories to your lil' Girl/Niece/...

                              ....

                              Well, then definitely try his books.
                              If you liked Pratchett you will surely love Douglas Adams.

                              I would even recommend "Last Chance to see" by him, which is about a more serious topic (a voyage to several species all around the world, which are threatened with extinction)
