I like comedy quite a bit, so my favourites are two series by some funny British fella. You may have heard of him.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy." Well, it's actually a series of five novels. Or six, if you count Eoin Colfer's addition to the series, which I don't. Controversially, I actually think books four and five are my favourites. They contain the snappy dialogue from the first three, but Adams really improved himself as a narrator so the narration is richer and more detailed. And I like the fourth book simply because it's different... and good. It took it's time to tell a love story of all things! A really wacky, too.

Dirk Genly's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. Unfortunately, Douglas Adams died before he could write a third entry in this short-lived series. But my god is this series nutty! It's like the last two Hitchhiker books in that Adams really showed his skill in narration, as well as making the stories into a little jig-saw puzzle. The books make sense enough on the first read-through, but a re-read or two will enhance the experience when you realize you've missed little clues throughout. I feel Mostly Harmless, the last Hitchhiker book, was written like this as well. I quite like this kind of narrative style. I enjoy re-reading books, and I find this makes that effort extra rewarding.
