In The Truth, did you enjoy ...

... the sharp satirical humor and witty perspective on society?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

If you were swept up by the clever satire and laugh-out-loud wit in The Truth, you'll find Good Omens a delight. The unlikely partnership between the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, as they scramble to prevent the apocalypse, is packed with the same kind of irreverent humor and biting social commentary that made William de Worde's adventures so memorable.

... the twisty political conspiracies and power struggles?

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

If you enjoyed unraveling the web of intrigue, corruption, and behind-the-scenes machinations in The Truth, you'll love The Eyre Affair. Literary detective Thursday Next navigates alternate-history bureaucracy, book theft, and shadowy conspiracies, all while trying to maintain order in a world where fiction and reality collide.

... the immersive, richly detailed worldbuilding?

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

If you were fascinated by the intricate, living world of Ankh-Morpork in The Truth, you'll be equally captivated by the alternate-historical England of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. The book offers a deeply developed magical society, period politics, and atmospheric detail, giving you that same sense of stepping into a world with its own rules and history.

... the goal-driven plot where a flawed protagonist tackles an impossible challenge?

Going Postal by Terry Pratchett

If you enjoyed William de Worde's determined mission to establish the Discworld's first newspaper, you'll love Going Postal. Here, con artist Moist von Lipwig is tasked with reviving the city’s decrepit postal service—against all odds, and with plenty of twists, schemes, and moments of triumph along the way.

... the morally complex, flawed protagonists navigating ambiguous situations?

The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon

If you found yourself rooting for William de Worde as he struggled with ethical dilemmas in the murky world of news, you'll appreciate Meyer Landsman in The Yiddish Policemen's Union. Landsman is a down-on-his-luck detective in an alternate-reality Jewish settlement, caught in a case where the lines between right and wrong are constantly shifting.
