If you loved the sharp, satirical humor Twain brings to A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court—from Hank's modern inventions confounding the superstitious knights, to the relentless poking fun at medieval society—you'll delight in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Adams' absurd situations, such as the destruction of Earth for a hyperspace bypass and characters like the hopelessly bureaucratic Vogons, offer the same kind of brilliant, laugh-out-loud social commentary.

If you enjoyed Hank Morgan's determined efforts to bring modern knowledge and technology to Arthurian England, you'll be gripped by Martin Padway's quest in Lest Darkness Fall. Transported to 6th-century Rome, Padway desperately tries to stave off the coming Dark Ages by introducing innovations like the printing press and distillation—much as Hank does with his factories and telegraphs in Camelot.

If Twain’s blend of humor and deeper philosophical musings about society, progress, and the absurdity of social norms resonated with you, The Man Who Was Thursday will be a treat. Chesterton’s novel is a witty, surreal exploration of anarchists, order, and identity, raising big questions about reality and society—just as Connecticut Yankee prods at politics, religion, and the nature of civilization.

If you enjoyed the hilarious and chaotic results of a modern mind clashing with the medieval world in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, you’ll love the time-hopping misadventures in To Say Nothing of the Dog. Willis’s time-travelers stumble through Victorian England, causing—and trying to fix—absurd paradoxes and misunderstandings, all with a comic touch reminiscent of Twain’s best scenes.

If you relished Twain’s playful bending of history and his use of modern references to lampoon the past, Good Omens will hit the spot. Pratchett and Gaiman’s apocalypse is filtered through a parade of historical and contemporary gags, with an angel and demon navigating centuries of mishaps and misunderstandings, much like Hank’s comic struggle to civilize Camelot.
