I was introduced to Terry Prachett by watching Terry Pratchett's Hogfather as done by Sky One. Really late to get into his stories, but since then I had started with book 1 of Discworld.
Are there authors who write similarly?
- atourgates 12y ago> Are there authors who write similarly? Nope. But the closest you're going to get is probably Douglas Adams.
- dchichkov 12y agoMaybe Robert Asprin? Same generation and I think his first MYTH books were at the similar level of ridiculousness and brilliance.
- riffraff 12y agogiven the single masterpiece which is "Evolution man"[0], Roy Lewis is the third author I usually associate with DA and TP. [0] http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Man-How-Ate-Father/dp/0679750096 http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Man-How-Ate-Father/dp/067975...
- Graham24 12y agoRobert Rankin perhaps? Try the Brentford Triangle. I've been the Griffin Park (not that i'm boasting or anything).
- cableshaft 12y agoI couldn't get into the Brentford Triangle personally, but I really enjoyed Armageddon the Musical.
- ShaneOG 12y agoI'd recommend Neil Gaiman; and definitely read Good Omens, a book that Terry and Neil co-wrote.
- gpvos 12y agoNeil Gaiman; Douglas Adams; Jasper Fforde.
- rodgerd 12y agoFForde is a good recommendation. The Thursday Next books are absolutely wonderful. (And my daughter has been reading Chris Riddell's Goth Girl books, which are like Fforde for younger readers.)
- beat 12y agoNeil Gaiman. My favorite Pratchett book is actually "Good Omens", his collaboration with Neil Gaiman back before either of them were famous.
