Douglas Adams did this for me, but science fiction instead of fantasy

  Understandable and they are often compared. For me it’s pratchett (strangely because I’m a massive sci-fi fan), his world is deeper, richer and the comedy is a backdrop to his view of the world expressed through fully realised and nuanced characters (while still very funny). I can’t imagine anyone ever building a more fully imagined world than discworld, not least because few authors write 41 novels in their lifetime (that’s just the Discworld - he wrote others, one has omnipotent world builders carefully putting in fossils, one whom gets in trouble for trying to sneak in a fossil holding a sign saying “ban nuclear testing” that was the first of his works I read an 9 year old me thought that was hilarious). I suspect a fan of either would find much to like in the other though :).
