If you like his work, I also suggest some books from Stanislaw Lem. He
has some serious SF novels(0) mostly, but two from him, "Futurology(?)
Congress" and "Diary Found in The Bath Tub"(1) are close relatives(2) to
HHGtTG series, considering the style. I also suggest "Starship
Titanic"(4), although some DA fans don't like it.

(0) Solaris, Aden, Return Back from The Stars, The Invulnerable are my
most favorite.
(1) Or the like-I made up the titles since I read them in Turkish.
(2) Especially the first one.
(4) Not a book really from Douglas Adams, but he only written the
preface. Since the publisher prints his name much bigger than the
original author (I can't recall his name now) on the cover, I bought it
as a DA book, and read it believing that..:-). Quite nice book
otherwise.
