It's quite myffic, and you'll recognize a lot of things from our world and culture, but it's most definitely twisted in all sorts of interesting directions.

Also, I like the Xanth books by Piers Anthony. I just read Armageddon's Children by Terry Brooks. It was good. I'm halfway through The Rover by Mel Odom and it's also good. The Weetzie Bat and Witch Baby books by Francesca Lia Block are fun. All of the books everyone’s listed above are good.
