Ask HN: Any book recommendations for Geek Humour?
I loved the sillyness of Douglas Adams, the even more old school sillyness of PG Wodehouse(wasn't geek but still pretty good).
I've searched and read some random sci-fi humour but wasn't blown away. Perhaps I was reading the wrong things. Do you guys have any suggestions?
