Welcome..

Well firstly, some books with humour from the previous lists I've put up would inlcude Fletcher Pratt and L Sprague De Camp's Compleat Enchanter series, which deals with time travel gone wrong. Very amusing.

Of course there's The First & Second Books Of Lankhmar by Fritz Leiber, a sword and sorcery duo who are constantly in and out of very amusing scrapes. Think Lethal Weapon duo Gibson and Glover in a magical setting.

I know that Terry Pratchett is a major figure with his DiscWorld series, never appealed to me but I'm not a huge fan of comedic fantasy.

Hope this helps.
