Small Gods by Terry Pratchett - which is interesting for me, because most of what I read is SciFi - but it's such a fascinating, thought provoking, and entertaining read

I love Small Gods! It's my go-to when people ask which Discworld book they should start with and want a good standalone.

The image of Om, in turtle form, piloting an eagle by biting it's unmentionables to canonball the head priest is fantastic.

Small Gods is first followed by Night Watch.
