Consider The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Recommended by 24 sources.
“Reading this is like being cornered by a sharp, slightly manic friend who’s decided to explain why the meaning of life is 42. The joy comes from Douglas Adams’s relentless wit, playful footnotes, and a universe where bureaucracy is a cosmic horror. The main limitation is that the plot often meanders into extended comedy sketches; if you’re waiting for a conventional payoff, you’ll be left adrift. Its strength is also its weakness: the jokes never stop, but stakes barely register.”
