I'm looking for some humourous scifi/fantasy reads. Basically, stuff like Hitchhiker's Guide.

Heck, if there's a Red Dwarf novel out there or something, that would be perfect.

Spider Robinson's "Callahan" books

Example of titles: Time Traveler's Strictly Cash, Lady Slings the Booze

great reads...own all his books

The Princess Bride. Classic and wicked funny. (Movie was based on the book).

One of my all time favorites is Good Omens by Neil Gaimen and Terry Pratchet, very funny and a great read.

I read that back in high school. Loved it and it's SO much better than the movie. The movie was a bit of a dissappointment after reading the book first.

And Kal, I've really been meaning to check out Pratchett's works.

He has a number of very good books in his Discworld series. Though I think Good Omens is my favorite of his.

I forget the name, but the one Discworld book where death takes a vacation, forcing all the races on the disc to elect there own deaths was so ingenously funny, that it got me to buy like 8 others with even reading the back cover to see WTF they were about ~
