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!

It's actually a very dark book in some points, but Joseph Heller's Catch-22 is that style of absurdist humor set during World War II. My English teacher assigned that one to me when he found out I loved Hitchhiker's Guide.

I second (third? fourth?) the Kurt Vonnegut suggestions too. I have never regretted reading anything with his name on it.
