Just recently started a book by Dan Abnett (of Warhammer 40K fame) called Triumff. The humor is very much in the vein of Pratchett/Adams. Check it out. First chapter is available as a sample at the Angry Robot Books web site.
Yeah, me too. This one is sort of an alternate history/fantasy rather than science fiction, but the humor has been good so far. I'm in the middle of it at the moment.
Also recommend Smith by Mike Devlin its is a self published book, but I found it as funny and gripping as Hitchhikers.
Just began reading Adams (finished Hitchhiker's, onto Restaurant) and I love it! But I've not yet read Pratchett. Can anyone recommend a good Pratchett book for a first timer?
hmm Pratchett most are good Wyrd Sisters is my favourite, but Colour of Magic isn't bad the first one. His kids books like Hatful of Sky are fun as well.
I really like Equal Rites by Pratchett. Have any of you Pratchett fans read his book Nation? Very different from his usual stuff, but really amazing.
That series is getting awful large for a trilogy. I always wondered if that was a joke he planned. "I have this idea for a trilogy, but it will actually be five or six books..."
