The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett (1983, ISBN 978-0-06-085592-5)
 

 Wikipedia says-- The Colour of Magic is a 1983 fantasy comedy novel by Terry Pratchett, and is the first book of the Discworld series.

 

Further--  The story takes place on the Discworld, a planet-sized flat disc carried through space on the backs of four gargantuan elephants – Berilia, Tubul, Great T'Phon and Jerakeen – who themselves stand on the shell of Great A'Tuin, a gigantic star turtle. The surface of the disc contains oceans and continents, and with them, civilizations, cities, forests and mountains. 

 

This is a fun novel. I enjoyed it very much. Hope to read more in the series.

This book is an Atlas of Discworld. It has one big map of Discworld and several smaller maps of different Discworld regions. Associated with each region is a description of the geography, politics, religions and the people in the region.

Discworld is a fantasy place, based on the novels written by Terry Pratchett.

The New Discworld Companion by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs (2003, ISBN 0 575 07467 1)

This an encyclopedia of everything (well many things) related to Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. The book is laid out A-Z  from Abbot, the to Zweiblumen, Jack.

I read the book cover to cover, not sure if it is meant to be read this way or just used as a reference. I found it interesting and funny.

Might be useful for those people looking for an overview of Discworld.

Gates of Stone by Angus Macallan (aka Angus Donald) (2019, ISBN 978-0-4514-9027-8) Subtitled- A Lord of the Islands Novel.

This is a fantasy novel that takes place in alternate version of Asia. Most of the action takes place in an area that might be similar to Java sea. The characters move about on foot or in sailing ships. They fight with swords and muskets and sometimes cannons. Magic is present and some characters can do magical things. There are several threads of story line that are followed in alternate chapters until the end when several of the threads merge. While the stories are concluded there is much more to be told and so this novel may be the first of a series.

Empire Of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio (2018, ISBN 978-0-7564-1301-9) Book One of the Sun Eater Series.

Fantasy Science Fiction. About a human empire 17,000 years in the future. Sort of like Roman Empire meets Star Wars. Some have compared it to Dune.

I found it easy to read, well written.

The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien 1937, ISBN 0-395-17711-1 and 01532. A fantasy novel about a world inhabited by various humanoid creatures called Hobbits, Dwarves, Wizards, Elves, Goblins, Dragons, etc. Very entertaining and very popular. This is the third time I have read this book. Twice I read the paperback shown (01532 Ballantine Books) and once the hardback slipcase edition. The paperback was purchased back in 1971 or 1972 for 95 cents. The hardback was purchased on 2002-1-2 from Borders Books for $35.00.

The Doom That Came To Sarnath by H. P. Lovecraft. 1971. Ballentine Books 02146-0-095 (SBN 345-02146-0-095.) Edited by Lin Carter. This collection of short stories is related to the "Dream Quest" collection. Some of these stories are dreams, others are horror and even science fiction. One story was co-authored with Harry Houdini. Like "dream Quest" I purchased and read this first in the early 1970s. The cover art is fantastic, probably the reason I bought the book. The story can be read here or here.

The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath by H. P. Lovecraft. Ballantine Books 01923-7-095, 1970 (SBN 345-01923-7-095). Edited by Lin Carter (assumed to be no relation to Randolph Carter!) Dream Quest is both the title of this collection of six stories and the title of the longest story. I think these stories are in the public domain, so you can probably find them for free (for example, here.) This book is a paperback that I purchased new in the early 1970s. It is a part of a series of books published by Ballantine Books, Adult Fantasy Series. This book has several of the stories from Lovecraft's Dream Cycle. These stories are related because they have some of the same characters or locations.
