Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, particularly:
"Mort" and "Reaper Man"; "Guards! Guards!", "Men at Arms", and "The Night Watch"; "Wyrd Sisters", "Witches Abroad" and "Lords and Ladies"; and "Small Gods" and "Pyramids".
The first two are about Death, the second three about Samuel Vimes, the third group about Granny Weatherwax, and the last two are stand-alones. All the books are worth reading, but those are some of the most engaging and compelling, and they teach skepticism, humanity, kindness, courage and absurdity in equal measures.
- drakenot 12y agoWhich one would you suggest starting with?
- sgt101 12y agoI loved the Colour of Magic when I was 14
- ColinWright 12y agoI'd start with "Guards! Guards!" Although "The Colour of Magic" came first, and was therefore published on its own merits, Terry really got into his stride after the first few books. The book "Guards! Guards!" is the first in the "Watch" series, and a great place to start.
