-Terry Pratchett is a master at turning silly fantasy tropes on their head to build a ridiculous and fun world that makes fun of our society and fantasy authors and their boob armour and racial stereotype. I like the city watch series the best and think it's a good starting point. Guards! Guards! is the first.  Here is a reading order guide.
