DiscWorld
(Terry Pratchett)The Fifth Elephant
Terry Pratchett writes fantasy comedy that pokes fun in a friendly way at "serious" fantasy novels, history, geography, the arts, and just about every other target you could mention. His books are set on the Discworld, a flat world propelled through space on the backs of four elephants standing on a giant turtle.

In order of publication, his discworld books are: The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites, Mort, Sourcery, Wyrd Sisters, Pyramids, Guards! Guards!, Eric, Moving Pictures, Reaper Man, Witches Abroad, Small Gods, Lords and Ladies, Men at Arms, Soul Music, Interesting Times, Maskerade, Feet of Clay, Hogfather, Jingo, The Last Continent, Carpe Jugulum, The Fifth Elephant, The Truth and Thief of Time. All are worth a read - some like Mort, Pyramids and Small Gods are true classics. The latest book to come out in the series isshort illustrated book The Last Hero.

Good value are volumes which collect several of the discworld books of a similar vein together in one volume:
The First Discworld Novels (containing The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic), The Rincewind Trilogy (containing Sourcery, Eric and Interesting Times), The City Watch (containing Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms and Feet of Clay), Death Trilogy (containing Mort, Reaper Man and Soul Music), The Gods Trilogy (containing Pyramids, Small Gods and Hogfather) and, if you can get it, The Witches Trilogy (containing Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad).

A map of the discworld is also available: Death's Domain: A Discworld Map as is The Discworld Companion. See also, a recipe book: Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, and the slightly odd The Science of Discworld..
