You want some adult books that arent full of negative crap go read some Terry Pratchett. All my life these are some of the only ones that make me laugh out loud consistently while still having a great plot, characters, and just overall excellent writing in so many ways.
I agree but the towel books are a good place to start. I also recommend the Dirk Gently series. But don’t stop with fiction. At least read the meaning of liff.
I always get Pratchett and Brooks confused. Too many Terrys.

He does a great job of writing a series that can be read piecemeal but pays off if you go through the whole things.
I’m also a big fan of the Myth Adventure series by Robert Aspirin. It’s more comedic, but has a similar vibe.

And when you’re done you go read Douglas Adams, and not just the book with the towels.
Yes! Dirk Gently series is great too.

The Guide is also excellent in other forms like radio and tv and each one is slightly different.
Terry Pratchett is AMAZING.
What, what? :)
I purchased Going Postal in an airport. I ended up laughing out loud on a plane.

Myth Adventures rocks!
I also highly reccomend the Myth books by Robert Aspirin.
Myth, Phule, and Thieve’s World. Though I will concede that Aahzimandius, no relation, was quite possibly the best character he ever created.
I personally call people coffee zombies because of the book where Skeeve has to clear his name at the interdimentional mall.
Read his “children’s” book Maurice And His Amazing Rodents and try not to sob. But also laugh, and fume, and learn.
