I'm a Terry Pratchett fan and I also like much of Tom Holt - some of his are very funny. Okay, so Holt's not quite "up there" with Pratchett in my list of favourites, but he's pretty good. Try his first ,"Expecting Someone Taller", if you can get it as an ebook. (His historical fiction I find very dry.)

I should also add that I love pretty much everything Pratchett's done, even the stuff supposedly for younger readers. The Bromeliad trilogy (Truckers, Diggers, Wings), the Johnny books, The Tiffany books (also discworld). The Carpet People, Nation. I really wouldn't be put off by age designations, his stuff is still worth reading.
