 | The Restaurant at the End of the Universe | Douglas Adams | |
| This book follows the odd journey of Arthur Dent, Tricia McMillian (Trillian), Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and Marvin's journey through Douglas Adam's insane (and funny) universe. |

 | So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish | Douglas Adams | |
| How would you feel coming back to the Earth from halfway across the galaxy? Or being one of two of the original human beings in the whole universe? Or maybe whats with the number forty two? And maybe why the dolphins disappeared and why everyone has plain glass fish bowl, the answer might be closer ... |
 | Mostly Harmless | Douglas Adams |  |
| Before reading this book, I was extremely cautious to avoid any information/review which might spoil and prejudice my opinion. In that I was successful. |
 | Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency | Douglas Adams | |
| Douglas Adams' wit and style come through in full force in this novel. Every time I finish another one of his books, I cry a little bit knowing that I have one less left to read. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is no exception. He did such a great job of creating a huge mess of comic confusi... |
 | The Meaning of Liff | Douglas Adams, John Lloyd | |
| ...that's what this book is. It is there when you've got a dentist appointment and have to sit around for ages to give you a chuckle. It's there for that God awful plane journey. It's there to keep you occupied. If you don't like reading 30 page chapters before you go to sleep at night then this is ... |
 | Last Chance to See.... | Douglas Adams, Mark Carwardine | |
| This book brings together two of my favorite things - conservation of the natural world and Douglas Adams. It is easy to read. It is magnificent in scope and context. I read it when I was a child and then again as an adult, and it was just as beautiful both times. The bit about venomous creature... |
 | E.L.V. | Nick Nielsen |  |
| This book was one of the best Sci Fi books I've read. It's quite humorous but you have to pay attention so as not to get lost in it-very complicated plot. Basically, these two people go back in time and mess up stuff with Leonardo da Vinci, and manage to create the Roman Gods, as well as lead some ... |

 | Good Omens | Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett | |
| Pratchett (of Discworld fame) and Gaiman (of Sandman fame) may seem an unlikely combination, but the topic (Armageddon) of this fast-paced novel is old hat to both. Pratchett's wackiness collaborates with Gaiman's morbid humor; the result is a humanist delight to be savored and reread again and ag... |
 | The Color of Magic | Terry Pratchett | |
| The Colour of Magic is Terry Pratchett's maiden voyage through the bizarre land of Discworld. His entertaining and witty series has grown to more than 20 books, and this is where it all starts--with the tourist Twoflower and his hapless wizard guide, Rincewind ("All wizards get like that ...... |
 | The Light Fantastic | Terry Pratchett | |
| Terry Pratchett does not write bad books. They are clever, punny, and funny. I laugh out loud every few pages. Read Terry. |
 | Equal Rites | Terry Pratchett | |
| I just re-read this book and came in to write a review, but I'm alarmed at the amount of hostility I find here! |
 | Mort | Terry Pratchett | |
| I've decided he's too good and too prolific for me to write a brand new review every single time I read one of his books. Discworld currently has 34 titles and every one of them will probably knock your socks off. His mind bubbles and flashes like a boiling pot of electric eels, and I simply can't g... |
 | Pyramids | Terry Pratchett | |
| I don't claim that this one is the rollicking, laughter filled ride of most of the previous books (particularly WYRD SISTERS) but, for sheer inventiveness and looney logic, this has claimed its current spot in my head and heart as King of the Hill as far as Discworld novels are concerned. However, I... |
 | Guards! Guards! | Terry Pratchett | |
| I've decided he's too good and too prolific for me to write a brand new review every single time I read one of his books. Discworld currently has 34 titles and every one of them will probably knock your socks off. His mind bubbles and flashes like a boiling pot of electric eels, and I simply can't g... |
 | Reaper Man | Terry Pratchett | |
| Reaper Man is a simple book. It's about Death. And it's pure genius. |
 | Small Gods | Terry Pratchett | |
| Discworld is an extragavanza--among much else, it has billions of gods. "They swarm as thick as herring roe," writes Terry Pratchett in Small Gods, the 13th book in the series. Where there are gods galore, there are priests, high and low, and... there are novices. Brutha is a novice with li... |
 | Men at Arms | Terry Pratchett | |
| Another wild romp through Discworld! Corporal Carrot, a young dwarf, is newly in charge of the recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork. Edward, the 37th Lord d'Eath, has just discovered that Ankh-Morpork, kingless for generations, has a sovereign ruler, who must be convinced that he is, in fact, the King.... |
 | Soul Music | Terry Pratchett | |
| Soul Music is the 16th book in the bestselling Discworld series, with close ties to the fourth book, Mort. Susan Sto Helit is rather bored at her boarding school in the city of Ankh-Morpork, which is just as well, since it seems that her family business--she is the granddaughter of De... |
 | Interesting Times | Terry Pratchett | |
| Marvelous Discworld, which revolves on the backs of four great elephants and a big turtle, spins into Interesting Times, the 17th outing in Terry Pratchett's rollicking fantasy series. The gods are playing games again, and this time the mysterious Lady opposes Fate in a match of "Destinies of... |
 | Feet of Clay | Terry Pratchett | |
| In Feet of Clay, Terry Pratchett continues the fantasy adventures on Discworld--where anything goes. Anything but murder, that is. Commander Vimes of the Watch must investigate a puzzling series of deaths, with help from various trolls and dwarfs. Pratchett's humor and excellent writing ... |
 | Hogfather | Terry Pratchett | |
| What could more genuinely embody the spirit of Christmas (or Hogswatch, on the Discworld) than a Terry Pratchett book about the holiday season? Every secular Christmas tradition is included. But as this is the 21st Discworld novel, there are some unusual twists. |
 | Jingo | Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs | |
| Terry Pratchett is a phenomenon unto himself. Never read a Discworld book? The closest comparison might be Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with its uniquely British sense of the absurd, and side-splitting, smart humor. Jingo is the 20th of Pratchett's Discworld novels, and the fourth ... |
 | The Last Continent | Terry Pratchett | |
| Terry Pratchett's 22nd Discworld novel, The Last Continent, is a lighthearted tour of the fantasy land of Fourecks, a very Australian sort of place, with brief courses in theoretical physics and evolution thrown in for good measure. Pratchett returns to his first Discworld protagonist, the in... |
 | Carpe Jugulum | Terry Pratchett | |
| Carpe Jugulum is the 23rd Discworld novel, and with it this durable series continues its juggernaut procession onward. Pratchett is an author who inspires such devotions that his fans will fall on the novel with cries of joy. Nonfans, perhaps, will want to know what all the fuss is about; and... |
 | The Fifth Elephant | Terry Pratchett | |
| Terry Pratchett has a seemingly endless capacity for generating inventively comic novels about the Discworld and its inhabitants, but there is in the hearts of most of his admirers a particular place for those novels that feature the hard-bitten captain of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, Samuel Vimes. ... |
 | The Truth | Terry Pratchett | |
| The Truth, Pratchett's 25th Discworld novel, skewers the newspaper business. When printing comes to Ankh-Morpork, it "drag(s) the city kicking and screaming into the Century of the Fruitbat." Well, actually, out of the Century of the Fruitbat. As the Bursar remarks, if the era's almost over... |
 | Thief of Time | Terry Pratchett | |
| If you were helpless with laughter over Shanghai Noon, enjoy satirical British humor and terrible puns, or just need your Pratchett fix, grab this book. Unfamiliar with Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series? It's time to discover one of the funniest, most literate, and most thought-provo... |
 | The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (Discworld) | Terry Pratchett | |
| Pratchett keeps his keen edge when writing for a young audience. In this book he's created characters who are relatively complex people trying to shape a society and find meaning in their lives, and oh yeah, they happen to be a colony of rats, led by an alley cat with con-man tendencies. The book i... |
 | Night Watch | Terry Pratchett | |
| Here we find Vimes vaulted through time, inadvertanly following Carcer, one of the smartest and least moral of any criminal. Vimes must teach his young self the ropes of being a copper while trying not to mess up the time continuum, Althewhile bringing some much needed wisdom to the watch and the pa... |
 | Monstrous Regiment | Terry Pratchett | |
| What do you get when you cross a vampire, a troll, Igor, a collection of misfits, and a young woman who shoves a pair of socks down her pants to join the army? The answer's simple. You have Monstrous Regiment, the characteristically charming novel by Terry Pratchett. |
 | Going Postal (Discworld) | Terry Pratchett | |
| This was my first Diskworld novel and I was blown away - the characters and story are both real and entertaining and it's hilariously well-written. |
| | Science of Discworld | Terry Pratchett | |
| Could not get info.. |
 | The Science of Discworld II: The Globe (Discworld) | Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart, Jack Cohen | |
| Try enlivening a party with this question: "What's on your mind?" When the babble has become truly raucous, ask another: "How did it get in there?" This book is about those questions, how we came to consider them, and how we've tried to learn to understand them. Interleaving a fantasy story with ana... |
 | The Carpet People | Terry Prachett | |
| The story behind this story is nearly the best story of all: "This book had two authors, one aged seventeen, one aged forty-three. Both of them were Terry Pratchett." Having penned this tale and had it lapse into obscurity, Pratchett is impelled by his editors to revive it years later. Rightly s... |
 | The Dark Side of the Sun | Terry Pratchett | |
| Can you find this old gem? I don't know. Before the utterly irresistible Discworld series, Pratchett wrote a little sci-fi. Like all else he writes, tongue in cheek. A bit of subtle parody, a bit of straight sci-fi, a bit of humor, a bit of wonder. The guy's an original, and I don't believe he's con... |
 | Johnny and the Dead (Johnny Maxwell Trilogy, 2.) | Terry Pratchett | |
| For the Terry Pratchett fans out there, nothing more need be said. It's Pratchett, you want to read it, the only reason you've been hesitating is because it's marked as a kids book (juvenile, young adult...) But this one isn't just for kids. As with any Pratchett book, there are layers and layers, a... |
 | The Bromeliad Trilogy: Diggers (The Bromeliad Trilogy) | Terry Pratchett | |
| Terry Pratchett's lovable nomes return in "Diggers," the second book of the Bromeliad trilogy. It's an improvement on the first book "Truckers," with a steadier pace and a new twist on this tiny-aliens-among-us plotline. It gets a bit silly at times, but doesn't wear out its welcome |
 | A Dog Called Demolition | Robert Rankin | |
| Robert Rankin's style of surreal humour makes this and his other books possibly the funniest around. |
 | Snuff Fiction | Robert Rankin | |
| Fantastic stuff! If only Rankin had a U.S. publisher the prices of his hysterical books would be a little more tolerable. "Snuff Fiction" is one of his best, a pseudo-memoir written in 2008 about the life of the Doveston, purveyor of the world's bestest tobacco & explosives. |
 | Web Site Story | Robert Rankin | ![]() |

 | Armageddon the Musical | Rankin, Robert Rankin | |
| For all fans of comic literature, Robert Rankin does the goods. This is an extremely funny and weird book, which is also quite intelligently construed. I think some of Rankin's other works are even more funny, but all in all this book is miles ahead of most other works in the genre. If you like Te... |
 | They Came and Ate Us | Rankin, Robert Rankin | |
| Being an avid Rankin reader, I was a bit disappointed about this follow-up to the excellent original. Armageddon II contains the trademark humour of all Rankin books, but has a poorly-planned, confused plot and an ending which ultimately makes the entire tome pointless. Worth a read but if you a... |
