I chose this book because its the first in Terry Pratchett's famous Discworld series with funny fantasy adventures. It has a tourist and a wizard getting into hilarious situations in a magical world that makes fun of typical fantasy stories.

Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels are consistent number one bestsellers in England, where they have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.The Color of Magic is Terry Pratchett's maiden voyage through the now-legendary land of Discworld. This is where it all begins--with the tourist Twoflower and his wizard guide, Rincewind.
