My favorite is Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. (Which your book reminds me of…along with a little mix of the flick “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”)
Resturant at the end of the universe – mainly becouse of Marvin the manio-depressive robot : “I have a brain the size of a planet, and all they ask me is to open and close doors”
My favourite is sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf: Omnibus Edition, which contains the two main Red Dwarf novels, Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and Better Than Life in one volume, co-written by both Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, the series creators.
Zombie Lake by Javan Bonds. LOL funny whether you like zombies or not!
K’Barthan Series Box Set by M T McGuire. My kind of humour.
Don’t Laugh: A Woman’s Playbook to the U-R-In Line for the Women”s Public Bathroom…Again
Lee Isserow has a humerous space opera End World series
I love the whole Hitchhiker’s Guide series. More recently, I enjoyed a book called (I think) Escape From B-Movie Hell. I can’t remember who wrote it, though.
It looks like we have a big Douglas Adams crew here. Gotta go with The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy since it has all five books of the “trilogy” in it. He had me from the phrase, “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”
I enjoyed the Xanth series by Piers Anthony
Good Omens. I’ve read and enjoyed most of the other books mentioned, but Pratchett and Gaiman, that’s good stuff, too.
Congrats – I used a random number generator and you won! Your book is on its way.
Piers Anthony’s Xanth series
Lamb by Christopher Moore. It’s a humorous retelling of Jesus’s life and narrated by his BFF Bif. Super hilarious book. Another that made me crack up is Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging (it’s a YA book).
Space Team by Barry Hutchison.
A few series by Jake bible, they’re not classed as humour but I find Roak etc. funny.
Hitchhikers Guide is sitting on my Kindle until I get chance to read it again after a lot of years.
MT McGuire is right up there too.
Larry Goes to Space, by Alan Black… this is what happens when aliens land in the back pasture of a Kansas farmer. Full of humorous insights into things in general, besides a good alien adventure story.
I love humor in good books, especially in sci-fi. My favorite is To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis. It’s one of the books I can enjoy reading over and over again, and it always makes me laugh.
I love Christopher Moore’s writing. His latest book, “Noir,” is set in San Francisco during WWII and involves gangsters, the Chinese mob, shady gov’t agencies, and an alien. And a very happy ending.
His mash-ups of Shakespearean tales with some of the most poetic salty language ever written and an utterly endearing knave of a narrator/jester ever to dangle a naughty bit are too good to pass up. Do look up his books. His written over a dozen over the past 25 years or so. “Practical Demonkeeping” was the first.
My favorite humorous book is the fantasy comedy “Split Heirs” by Lawrence Watt-Evans and Esther M. Friesner.
