These are some of the books that I find to be the most inspiring, thoughtful, or enjoyable.
The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy: By Douglas Adams
The Hitchhikers Guide books are the ultimate in witty, sarcastic, and unabashedly british comedy. His hilarious yet insightful take on politics, religion, and all of creation itself kept me laughing the whole way through. This is what you would get if Terry Pratchett wrote sci-fi.
The wee free men: bY TERRY PRATCHETT
The books in the Tiffany Aching series are the ultimate in witty, sarcastic, and unabashedly british comedy. In this wild adventure, young Tiffany Aching finds out that monsters are invading the world, they're trying to steal her little brother, her grandmother wasn't actually a witch, and she has somehow been named the head of a clan of twelve-inch-tall, blue-skinned Scottish warriors called the Nac Mac Feegle. This is what you would get if Douglas Adams wrote fantasy.
Eragon: By Christopher Paolini
In my mind, this is one of the best fantasies set in the basic orcs, elves, dwarfs, humans type fantasy world. It's about a boy who finds a mysterious blue dragon egg in the woods and -- after a hilarious series of events -- ends up on a country wide road trip to hunt down his uncles killers with his new dragon friend, and perhaps save the land from tyranny if it's on the way.
