   Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency / The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul par Douglas Adams (gandalf_grey)
2. 2710
   L'Affaire Jane Eyre par Jasper Fforde (ut.tecum.loquerer, coliemta)

   coliemta: One's more literary and the other more science-fiction-y, but they're both bizarre, hilarious and similar in feel. Most people who like one will enjoy the other.

   De bons présages par Terry Pratchett (mcenroeucsb)

   mcenroeucsb: Good Omens is uneven in writing quality, but the flippant interactions between some of the angels and demons very much reminds me of Douglas Adams.

4. 173
   Les sirènes de Titan par Kurt Vonnegut (girlunderglass, catfantastic)

   girlunderglass: before The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - more than 20 years before it - there was THIS book about space travel, time travel, and the "ultimate answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything". Adams certainly borrowed a lot from Vonnegut.

   Neverwhere par Neil Gaiman (souloftherose)

   souloftherose: Although Neverwhere and The Hitchhiker's Guide (THHG) are different genres (the first is urban fantasy, the second comic science-fiction) I felt there was a lot of similarity between the characters of Richard Mayhew (in Neverwhere) and Arthur Dent (in THHG). Both are a kind of everyman with whom the reader can identify and both embody a certain 'Britishness'. And they're both stonkingly good books by British authors.… (plus d'informations)

    The Probability Broach par L. Neil Smith (fulner)

    fulner: Probability broach is the story of a 20th century PI who investigates a murder that stumbles him into a place that isn't quite what it appears to be. The broach is equivalent to a Stargate or a demonstrate traveling whale.

16. 01
    Alles außer irdisch par Horst Evers (Camaho)
17. 01
    Year Zero par Rob Reid (aethercowboy)

    aethercowboy: Year Zero is a humorous science fiction book that pokes liberal fun at the current state of music copyright, but also tells a hilarious story in the process about aliens obsessed with Earth music (except for North Korea).

    Martiens, go home ! par Fredric Brown (fougny)
19. 01
    Last Chance to See par Douglas Adams (Waldstein)

    Waldstein: Douglas Adams's true masterpiece, albeit one of non-fiction. Far wittier and more profound than The Guide.
