Fantasy/Comedy

It's difficult to say without spoiling the first book, but I've read the series a couple of times now and I still laugh at the way the stories are written.  The first book is a very quick read and you should be able to find it at your library.

Here part of the plot synopsis from the wiki on the first book...

"Skeeve, a magician's apprentice and wannabe thief from the demension Klah, tries to learn the basics of magic from Master Magician Garkin for several months but to no avail.Skeeve can do little more than float a feather or light a candle using magic. Wanting to convince Skeeve that being a thief is not as good as being a magician, Garkin summons a demon. During the summoning an assassin barges into the hut, and Garkin and the assassin kill each other. Skeeve is left alone with the demon. To Skeeve's surprise the demon politely introduces himself as Aahz. Aahz explains that demon is slang for Dimension Traveler. He further explains that there are thousands of dimensions with different races in them, and that he is from the dimension of Perv, making Aahz a Pervect, while Skeeve is a Klahd. Aahz is a master magician like Garkin but loses his magical powers during the summoning ritual and becomes stranded in Klah. Aahz volunteers to take Skeeve on as his apprentice and teach him magic."

Tales from the Flat Earth by Tanith Lee

Told in the style of the oral traditions of storytelling, with INCREDIBLE imagery, overwhelming plots and utterly fantastic characters. Azhrarn, Prince of Wickedness, Night's Master is someone I would want to cuddle. Even if he's evil.

As a comic-reader and/or gamer you must read 1) Junot Diaz The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and 2) Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay

Both won Pulitzers
