The discworkd series

William Gibson's books

Neal Stephenson's books (except Anathem, too looong)

Bartimaeus series by Jonathan Stroud

Dan Simmons books

The Atrocity archives by Charles Stross (just discovered this one, a must read!)

The master and Margarita

Kunderna (the old ones)

Umberto Eco (especially Baudolino)

So basically sci-fi or fantasy in a plausible heavy setting I guess :-D

Edit: forgot the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy OFC!

My mind got jogged so I'll add Catch 22 by Joseph Heller to the list too. IMO definitely a good read if you liked the HHGTTG.

Plausible, heavy setting - Discworld 🤔

Regarding the first, have you tried the Robin Hobb books?

I don’t know many that are similar to discworld though. Maybe Good Omens by Sir Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaimen

😁 Well people act as (evil, bad, stupid, capricious, vicious, power hungry, but also good in lots of ways) people do and the world itself is quite well built IMO.

Yeah I have one or two Robin Hobb, IIRC it was like okay but a bit meh, I'll check it out again.

Good omens was okay, not my favourite though.

Thanks!
