I recommend James Morrow. Towing Jehovah is an awesome book (first in a trilogy, and he has other books I haven't read yet, such as Bible Stories for Adults).

However, be warned - his books tend to involve religious themes, and particularly play on Christian theology and mythology. If you are a member of a conservative Christian sect and have no sense of humor about, God, Christianity and the Bible, you should stay away.

For light Sci-fi, I like Keith Laumer's Retief series.

For fantasy, try Robert Lynn Asprin's Myth series.

Spider Robinson, definitely. He's still working on the
Callahan's Bar series, plus there is another 35 years of
his publications to choose from. Sci Fi with a chuckle,
and plenty of bad puns.

Also, there was at least one Red Dwarf book ("Grant Naylor"
is the author). Not bad.

On a completely different tangent, I've been rereading the entire Discworld
series, which doesn't take much time...I think I've read about 8 or 9 in the
past two weeks. Luckily I have about 10 to go! Yay!

Other than Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut, Carl Hiaasen, Stephen Fry and Neil
Gaiman, does anyone have any other suggestions of comedy/satire writers for
me to try? I'm just *really* in the mood for silly right now...

These days, I usually listen to radioio.com or random shoutcast streams
when I want radio. It's not bad, but boy, do I miss radio.sonicnet.
