hilarity. the #1 thing to look for in good entertainment. that's why it's called entertainment. it's entertaining. terry pratchett's discworld is the funniest thing i've ever come across. it's hysterically funny and he nails human nature right on the head.
i tell you what. if you read it you won't be sorry. go to this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld and take a look. each book stands on its own so you don't have to worry about reading them in order (except the 1st 2-read color of magic before light fantastic)
however be aware that different characters show up in multiple stories. therefore i recommend starting at or near the beginning. like i said look at the website above and it will give you a rundown of the books with major characters and themes of satire. so pick a character and start reading! but like i said they don't really need to be read in order--it's just more fun that way because you learn a lot about characters and discworld itself through the course of the books.
my absolute favorite character is death. i laugh myself silly every time he shows up on the page. and i must say that my absolute favorite book is hogfather. which features death filling in for the hogfather (who is a discworld version of santa claus)
