If you find this entertaining, you'd enjoy Tom Holt books. This is basically his whole style.
You can't do that without linking!
That paragraph above reminds me most of The Out-sorcerer's Apprentice. Where to quote from the wikipedia page
'a fairy tale universe is exploited economically'.He's written like 40 books
and they're all pretty good fun (the fantasy stuff at least, his historical fiction wasn't my jam), not high literature or anything though, just nerdy, silly humour with some fun clever bits.That piqued my interest, gonna check it out. Thanks!
The first 2 books, 'Doughnut', and 'When It's A Jar', I would normally recommend over 'The Out-sorcerer's Apprentice', they're more scifi slanted and imo tightly written.
The fundamental technology tying the books together is re-explained in book 3 though and you can figure stuff out without having read books 1 & 2, but it's probably not going to be quite as funny without all that pained context and layers of multidimensional headfuckery.
