> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > Tanya Huff’s Keeper’s Chronicles series. [Summon the Keeper](http://www.amazon.com/Summon-Keeper-Keepers-Chronicles-1/dp/0886777844) is first. Very funny. Der Trihs stole mine. She also has a vampire series called the Blood Books. Much better than Twilight. ---

> [@Rick](#): > > Anything by Christopher Moore > There I fixed that for you. True enough, but at least one of his books (The Stupidest Angel) has references to at least two of his previous books, which could get confusing. Actually, just reading Moore’s books can be confusing at times. I’ve thought about changing my username to Raziel, or perhaps Roberto. Too obscure? ---

Actually, many of his works reference characters or events in the others. **Lamb** mentions the demon from **Practical Demonkeeping** , **A Dirty Job** mentions characters from his vampire trilogy. Apparently the only book that doesn’t do this is **Fool**. ---

Definitely agree on anything by christopher moore and incarnations of immortality by piers anthony… And anything by pratchett…actually there have been lots of great suggestions so far- but I wanted to mention JD robb’s series “death in…” Its really nora roberts, futuristic mysteries. Entertaining stuff! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/recommend-me-a-fun-easy-light-read-quick/538435.md?page=2)
