The Xanth books by Piers Anthony were one of the first SciFi/Fantasy series I ever read. I love puns so I have always enjoyed them. Upon re-reading them I can see that they have some weaknesses but overall they stand the test of time. They are a fun and fast read that keeps me amused without any deep thinking required. (

You can't ever say that a Xanth novel is boring, especially if you enjoy word play. On the other hand, it's not what I would call a compelling read, more or less a meandering tale across the land of Xanth, with a mundane on a Quest and the companions that accompany him. Formulaic, but fun and also like visiting an old friend. (
