Default Need a reccomendation

I've read every single book Terry Pratchett has ever written, but I can't find any other books like his, save for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I don't even know which genre those books fall into. Absurd humor? Zany comedy? Are those even genres? Anyway, what it boils down to is that I love his writings, and want more of the same. Any reccomendations?

I'll recommend Tom Holt and Fforde.

Nothing's the same as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or Pratchett, but these are both humorous authors that I think you might enjoy.

Uuuuuuugh... Why would anyone WANT to read more like those guys? David Foster Wallace's 'Infinite Jest' is pretty solidly 'zany' in some parts, and I like it a hell of a lot more than those two.
