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!

I'd definitely agree with the people recommending Robert Rankin.

Tom Sharpe is also funny (Wilt, Porterhouse Blue, etc.)

Also (disclaimer that it's by someone I used to know which may affect my judgement) Go Up by Simon Broadbent is clearly influenced by the Terry Pratchett books set in Ankh Morpork.

I didn't like it quite as much, and it is more middle grade, but A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking feels kind of Pratchett influenced.
