If it would pass muster with your maternal unit, I'd nominate the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. It's been a minute since I read any of them, but I can vouch that one would have to struggle to find something offensive with the tales--a mix of young adult fantasy, sci-fi, and humor--the author was renowned for making the sort of puns we can both laugh at and feel a bit irked that we didn't think of them ourselves.Book one, A SPELL FOR CHAMELEON https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/870267 Supplemental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOGJqlg8voc |

I do some of my best proofreading after hitting REPLY.Once more, it's been many moons since I read Piers Anthony and while it never registered with me at the time, seems he and his works are controversial in current era--while digging for those links for your perusal, I'd be remiss if I didn't warn you that some of his stuff hasn't aged well since the first print; there are now accusations of misogynistic attitudes which many not sit well with modern readership. That said, I can say with more confidence that we can't go wrong with Douglas Adams's THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. I remember I had gotten as far as book five in the "increasingly misnamed trilogy," and I can't remember ever reading a book that elicited genuine guffaws out of me as I proceeded. While I'm aware there's at least one movie made many years back, I can't imagine it doing the source material any justice. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11.The_Hitchhiker_s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy |

@GiuseppeK I LOVE Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! I love how he includes the randomest little tangents that are so unrelated yet somehow so related lol (like that one part about the wormhole starting a massive war between two alien kingdoms just for it to end when… well, let’s not spoil it) I have an edition of “The More Than Complete Hitchhiker’s Guide” which has multiple books in one. Though it’s been quite some time since I last read it and you’ve reminded me that I ought to visit it once more…
