What are the best fictional books you’ve ever read?
I started reading last year, mostly productivity stuff, but now I’m really looking to jump into fiction to unwind after a long week of uni, studying, and work. I need something to help me relax during the weekends without feeling like I’m working.
I’d love some recommendations for books that are short enough to finish in a day but still hit hard and are totally worth it. No specific genre preferences right now. I'm open to whatever. Looking forward to seeing what you guys suggest. Thank you very much in advance.

Basically most Terry Pratchett books really. Some will take more than a day, but it's like a mix of Lord of the Rings and Monty Python. Whimsical and silly with some good moments that make you think.
I'll get these books because lots of people upvoted your comment, which makes me assume that they're worth reading. Is there any specific order that I need to follow books of this specific author?
I would start with The Color of Magic, I'm currently reading them in chronological order of release, but certain books cover certain main characters. Small Gods is probably another great place to start. But if you want a more instructive set of reading directions:
Most people prefer sub series.
I'll check the link that you shared. Thank you very much.
You're welcome! It's a fun world and as others have stated, "Guards! Guards!" Is a great jumping in point as well.
The discworld collection is currently on humble bundle for cheap if you have an e-reader.
Can you provide a link? Searching for Terry Pratchett or Discworld doesn't give me any results.
Thanks. But it says unavailable in my area. 😕
The bundle or the claim website? You might be able to get around it with a VPN.
The bundle. I'm gonna try what you suggested and try with a VPN.
Oh thanks for the heads up!
