Another Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett: "The Truth."
A nobleman, William De Worde, starts a newspaper and printing press in Discworld. Some of his employees include a vampire, (who's trying to fit in socially) and a lawyer zombie.
Pratchett has a strange of humor and parodies modern society. I need this kind of escapism from reality at times.
