Do give the Disc World series a try - you don't have to read them in sequence.

In our opinion, the earlier ones are the best. Terry Pratchett adds footnotes, which are sarcastic comments on todays society. :-D

Have you tried any of Marina Lewycka's books?
Lighthearted and witty, 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian' was her first book, extremely funny, followed by 'Two Caravans' which was equally lively.
I've just read her third, 'We Are All Made of Glue' and found it to be as good a chuckle as the previous two. :-D :-D :-D

I also loved Marina Lewycka's books. I think she has a fourth book out, but haven't read it yet.

I often wonder , there are a lot of people who don't read, but what do they do if thet can't sleep?

I can't sleep unless I have read for a while first,even if it's just a few minutes when I'm really tired and find myself reading the same line over again without it sinking in :-D
