Imagine a world where pigs can do quantum mechanics, and where female solicitors turn into chickens. Add a dry cleaner that moves (literally, from the roof tiles to the basement) from town to town every forty-eight hours, a couple of medieval knights who've fought every day for centuries, and a magical ring (or pencil sharpener, depending on the mood it's in). Stir in a bit of property developing, a thaumaturgical detective and an old man who lives in a cloud. Result? You haven't even begun to probe the depths of this crazy, absurd, complex and hilarious book.
Tom Holt has written lots of wonderfully silly books; Bookbag particularly recommends [[Blonde Bombshell by Tom Holt|Blonde Bombshell]]. You probably already know Douglas Adams' ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'', but you may have missed [[The Salmon of Doubt]]. [[Mort]] is a fine example of the work of Terry Pratchett, and you could do worse than start your acquaintance with Jasper Fforde by reading [[Shades of Grey]].
