   Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency / The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul door Douglas Adams (gandalf_grey)
2. 2710
   The Eyre Affair door 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.

3. 193
   Hoge Omens: de Oprechte en Secure voorspellingen van Agnes Nutter, een Heks door 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. 183
   De sirenen van Titan door 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.

   De kleur van toverij door Terry Pratchett (mcenroeucsb)

   mcenroeucsb: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy : Science Fiction :: The Color of Magic : Fantasy

   Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers door Grant Naylor (Konran)
8. 1712
   Niemandsland door 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.… (meer)

   Dat wonderbare licht door Terry Pratchett (Nikkles)
10. 87
    Catch-22 door Joseph Heller (wvlibrarydude)

    wvlibrarydude: Satire and humor that will split your gut. Read if you want to laugh at humanity.

11. 21
    Meidezeggenschap door Terry Pratchett (SandraArdnas)
12. 00
    The Probability Broach door 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.

13. 11
    The Sheriff of Yrnameer door Michael Rubens (MyriadBooks)
14. 33
    John Dies at the End door David Wong (fundevogel)
15. 01
    There Goes the Galaxy door Jenn Thorson (Litrvixen)
16. 01
    Year Zero door 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).

    Alles außer irdisch door Horst Evers (Camaho)
18. 01
    Marsbewoners, hoepel op! door Frederic Brown (fougny)
19. 12
    Space Opera door Catherynne M. Valente (Cora-R)

    Voor het te laat is, een expeditieverhaal door Douglas Adams (Waldstein)

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