THX, I had forgotten the titles & will have to give them another read some day.

Another silly series that I liked was the Xanth series.
Xanth, the magical world from the mind of Piers Anthony. Where everyone has a magical talent, from making spots appear on a wall to controlling the weather. Those with "Magician caliber" talent become the King.

Alan Dean Foster is another writer that comes to mind. Mainly for his Flinx(and his mini-dragon) series.
