I first learned of these towers as a kid watching James Burke's the Day the Universe Changed.
My favorite memory is Terry Prattchet's reinterpretation as the Clacks in his late Diskworld books.
I once grabbed an excerpt of Diskworld, asked a LLM to replace all names, then posted it to different LLM as if it was my writing, and asked them to rate it.
Only Gemini noticed it was an excerpt from Diskworld, and called me on my bullshit.
Not individual books but settings series
1. Lord of the Rings
2. Malazan Book of the Fallen
3. The wizard of Earthsea
4. Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
5. Nine Princes in Amber series
6. Narnia
7. Magician
8. Diskworld
9. Dying Earth
10. Book of the long sun
I also like Joe Abercrombie and Rithfus might be top 5 if he published “Doors of Stone” but he hasn’t.
I find Sanderson tireson with his characters who are alwards going through emotional crises.
Harry evreni diye bir şey yok. Sonradan oluşmuş olabilir. Sadece jk Rowling denen bu kadın yazıyor. Forgotten Realms veya Dragonlance farklı yazanlar tarafından yazıldı. Witcher aynı yazar Diskworld Terry Pratchett ve Yerdeniz Earthsea Ursula K. Le guin yazdı . Eddings Elenium Tamuli Belgariad Malerion , Brooks Shannara . Tolkien Orta Dünyayı yazdı Lotr sadece bir parçası en ünlü kitapları . Harry çocuk kitabı.Filmler için Wizarding World yapıldı ama kitaplarda başlamadı.
Diskworld analogy (love the series)
Regular people only have first thoughts. (Layer 1)
Witches have Second thoughts (layer 2) and some have third thoughts (layer 3).
Thank you Kate, I get it! 🙌
It's called The Hogfather. Authored by Terry Pratchett, it's part of the Diskworld series of books. The BBC did a few holiday specials. I highly recommend it. The adaptations are very close to the literature.

Reminds me of one of the scenes in one of the Diskworld novels, where the troll has a super-crossbow that's designed to end riots with a single shot.
"You can't fire that thing in here! This is an enclosed space!"
"Only until I pull this trigger."
all of the terry pratchett discworld books are written with the manic energy of a man who's been told his whole family will be executed if every single sentence he writes isn't funny
Oh my big question.
So I do love Tolkien for sure and love the Lord of the Rings (books and movie) and The Hobbit (book, movie was ok).
That said I also love Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy 5 book trilogy 🤭. (42!)
Also enjoying the Diskworld books right now!
