I don't like much fantasy (except Elizabeth Moon) and strangely I don't consider the Discworld series by Pratchett as fantasy???? Is there anyone else that feels the same? I think that I just like Pratchett's writing and characters so much that I accept the "magic" as an incidental part of the story.
AFAIK Pratchett's stories takes place in (semi)medieval environment, in a made-up world, with a variety of fantastic creatures, and magic (with or without quotes) is an integral part of the world. I'd say fantasy as a genre fits pretty well - even if it's not "high" or "classic" fantasy. "Humour" might be another relevant genre.
