Can you suggest me books in the style of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams? (kbin.social)

Those two are my favorite authors, but sadly I've read all their work and neither are making any more.

I absolutely love that style of writing and I'd love to know if there's more like them!

There's always Neil Gaiman. His style is definitely different, but you can feel some similarities. He and Pratchett wrote Good Omens together. Check out Stardust, the Graveyard Book, or American Gods. And of course The Sandman, but it is darker.

I’m listening to the audiobook of the graveyard book narrated by him right now and it’s fantastic

Gaiman's narrations are fantastic. Add Neverwhere to the list above!
