Discworld is sometimes compared to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. That’s to say they’re both heavily tongue-in-cheek, not “hard” scifi/fantasy. HGTTG is “hard” scifi in the same way Rincewind is Gandalf - ie not at all. They’re running more on Rule of Funny, and it works pretty well. Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams were both English, of course, and have quite a bit of overlap in their humor, commentary and writing style.
Yeah a favourite from my youth, actually got hooked when they aired on Swedish radio!
It’s just so long time ago I forgot them, perfect suggestion!
