I finished that series a few weeks ago and I still crave that kind of humor

      Discworld is a very unique set of works tbh. It ranges from absurdist slapstick with rinsewind, to poignant delicacy in the Tiffany Aching sections, with everything mixed up in between.

      It’s all set in the same world, but progresses over time and has distinct sub-series with their own tone. But there’s Pterry’s wit and sense of delight all throughout. I never read the full series until I was an adult, only a book there and there, spaced out over years since the local library didn’t have everything. But it still managed to engender a childlike sense of joy and wonder for me. There’s not much that can do that at my age lol.
