The Color of Magic (Discworld, #1)
Terry Pratchett
The very first Discworld, with a hapless wizard playing tour guide to the disc's first tourist. Very silly in the best way, if a bit rougher than the later books.
★ 5The Night Circus
Erin Morgenstern
A magical circus that only opens at night, with a slow-burn romance inside it. Pure enchantment.
★ 5Dune (Dune, #1)
Frank Herbert
Politics, religion, ecology, and giant sandworms on a desert planet. A sci-fi cornerstone, and it earns it.
