What are some of your favorites?

A great deal of my physical collection is from the 80s and 90s, and I just got started in e-books.

Of course, I'm sure everyone knows of Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide), Piers Anthony (Xanth), Robert Asprin (Myth), and Terry Pratchett (Discworld), but here are a few more that I've come across:

• Kevin J. Anderson - Dan Shamble, zombie P.I. (I haven't read it yet.)
• Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson - Hoka! Hoka! Hoka! and Hokas Pokas!
• Gordon R. Dickson - The Right to Arm Bears
• C. Dale Brittain - A Bad Spell in Yurt and sequels (I haven't read them yet.)
• Terry Brooks - Magic Kingdom for Sale - SOLD!
• Rick Cook - Wizardry series (not sure how humorous these are, I haven't read them yet.)
• Kyle Crocco - Heroes Inc., Heroes Wanted
• L. Sprague de Camp - The Harold Shea (Enchanter) series (I haven't read them yet.)
• John DeChancie - The Castle Perilous series.
• Gordon R. Dickson - The Dragon and the George series (I've read parts before, but I'm not sure how humorous it is.)
• George Alec Effinger - Maureen Birnbaum, Barbarian Swordsperson
• Joe Clifford Faust - Angel's Luck series, Pembroke Hall series
• Lionel Fenn - Kent Montana series.
• Alan Dean Foster - Quozl, Glory Lane, Spellsinger series.
• Esther Friesner - Demons series, Gnome series, Majyk series, also edited anthologies like Chicks in Chainmail.
• Craig Shaw Gardner - Ebenezum & Wuntvor series, Cineverse series, Arabian Nights series.
• Mel Gilden - Hawaiian U.F.O. Aliens
• Harry Harrison - The Stainless Steel Rat series, Bill the Galactic Hero series
• Jack Hopkins (aka Nick Pollotta) - Satellite Night series
• Keith Laumer - Retief series.
• Dan McGirt - Jason Cosmo series
• John Morressy - Kedrigern series
• Jody Lynn Nye - Mythology series
• Nick Pollotta - Illegal Aliens, Bureau 13 series
• Spider Robinson - Callahan's Saloon series
• Elizabeth Ann Scarborough - The Harem of Aman Akbar
• Christopher Stasheff - Not slapstick humor, but there is some humor in the Warlock series, and the Wizard in Rhyme series, as well as Starship Troupers.
• Lawrence Watt-Evans - Ethshar series

You might also look at David Weber's Windriders series. I was hooked when I read the first line of the summary to Oath of Swords (that's book 1) - "Whom the gods would recruit, they first piss off."

Eric Frank Russell a little known British writer.
Next of Kin & wasp are hilarious

Robert Asprin's Mythology series, written before before Jody Lynn Nye took over.
Bored of the Rings and Doon by National Lampoon.

@1aadenalee - I'm a fan of David Weber's Honor Harrington series, although I haven't read his other stuff yet. I'll have to check it out.

@Prof Alid Loyas - I haven't heard of him before, I'll take a look.

@Scunzero - I mentioned Robert Asprin in the first post, in fact, I just finished reading the Myth series and the Phule's Company series at the end of July. I think Myth did well with the addition of Jody Lynn Nye, I've read her own unrelated Mythology 101 series, as well as the various books she's done in Anne McCaffrey's universes. Phule's Company dropped off a bit in the later books, particularly in the complete change of 'Sgt. Escrima,' the cook. His personality and dialogue did a 180 from the first two books. Whether that was Peter J. Heck's influence, or whether Robert Asprin failed at keeping his continuity straight, I can't say.

I've got the paperbacks for Bored of the Rings and Doon, it's been a long time since I read Bored of the Rings, and I'm not sure if I ever did get to Doon.

Right now, I'm in the middle of the Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison, it's been a few years since I've read it.

Simon R. Green Deathstalker series and Most of David Weber's series I find have humorous under tones.

very funy this book Skulduggery Pleasant (Skulduggery Pleasant, #1) by Derek Landy

Frederik Pohl and Cyril Kornbluth wrote some good works together, and separately, one of their best is The Space Merchants.
L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt's The Compleat Enchanter.

@babyg4 - I've got most of Simon R. Green's books (on ebook) but I haven't actually read any of them yet. I enjoy David Weber's Honor Harrington series (I'm in the middle of it right now,) although it wouldn't really be considered humorous. I plan to read the rest of his works soon.

@lupus7 - Thanks, I'll check that out.

@Scunzero - Thank you, I've got some Frederik Pohl, but I don't think I have The Space Merchants. I'll check that out (fitting, given his death earlier this month.) I just recently managed to complete my ebook collection of the Harold Shea/Compleat Enchanter stories, although I haven't read them yet.

Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden is an awesome wiseass. I heard Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series is funny too.

It's a completely different flavor of humor (i.e., brainy British) and fantasy, but I love Jasper Fforde's Bookworld series.

Oh, also check out Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susannah Clarke

Garrett PI series by Glen Cook and I definitely second The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid

There is Robert Asprin's Phule's Company, Time Scouts and Dragon's Deal series. If you like Harry Dresden, look at Benedict Jacka's Alex Verus books and there is definitely David Weber's Windriders series (any book where the back cover starts with "Whom the gods would recruit, they first piss off" has my vote).

A bit late to the party, but any love out there for the Bill The Galactic Hero series? Also the Red Dwarf books, Hitchhikers ( obv) and Colin Greenlands Plenty series which is one of my all time favourites.
