In The Colour of Magic, did you enjoy ...

... the irreverent humor and clever satire?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

If you loved the witty, satirical humor that runs through The Colour of Magic, you'll have a blast with Good Omens. Here, the antics of the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley as they try to avert the apocalypse deliver sharp dialogue, absurd scenarios, and comedic takes on everything from bureaucracy to prophecy.

... a whimsical, unpredictable fantasy adventure?

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

If you enjoyed Rincewind and Twoflower's chaotic trek across Discworld, you'll find Arthur Dent's cosmic misadventures in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy just as delightful. The story brims with zany escapades, improbable situations, and a plot that never sits still for long.

... a richly imagined, offbeat fantasy world?

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

If Discworld's strange geography and oddball inhabitants drew you in, Neverwhere offers a similarly inventive and immersive setting—London Below—populated by quirky characters like Door and the Marquis de Carabas, with hidden dangers and wonders around every corner.

... a cast of eccentric, memorable characters on a quest?

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

If you loved the mismatched duo of Rincewind and Twoflower, you'll be charmed by Westley, Inigo Montoya, and Fezzik as they embark on their hilarious and heartfelt rescue mission. The ensemble delivers witty banter and unforgettable moments at every turn.

... whimsical, lighthearted magic woven into the story?

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle

If the playful, unpredictable magic of Discworld enchanted you, The Last Unicorn will resonate with its dreamlike spells, talking animals, and magical mishaps. The unicorn's journey, aided by the bumbling magician Schmendrick, is full of gentle humor and wonder.
