The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett is wildly funny, clever, and completely unhinged in the best way. The world is chaotic and imaginative, the satire is sharp, and Rincewind is the most reluctant “hero” ever. Twoflower is the most chaotic insurance seller I've ever seen and the luggage is just a mood. I enjoy every moment of this.
