In Going Postal, did you enjoy ...

... the clever, irreverent humor and satirical wit?

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

If you enjoyed the sharp, playful satire and witty dialogue of Going Postal, you'll love The Eyre Affair. Follow Thursday Next, a literary detective navigating a world where literature is deadly serious—literally. Fforde's novel brims with puns, genre-savvy jokes, and inventive comic twists, making it a delight for anyone who loves humor with their speculative fiction.

... morally flexible protagonists and clever anti-hero schemes?

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

If Moist von Lipwig's slippery ethics and charming cons won you over, The Lies of Locke Lamora will be right up your alley. Locke and his band of thieves operate in the criminal underworld of Camorr, pulling off elaborate heists with wit and moral ambiguity. The book is full of clever plans, close calls, and a protagonist you can't help but root for, even when he's breaking all the rules.

... a goal-driven plot centered on a wild, nearly impossible mission?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

If you loved rooting for Moist as he attempted the impossible task of reviving the Ankh-Morpork Post Office, then Good Omens will hook you with its race-against-time to avert the apocalypse. The story follows an angel and a demon teaming up on a madcap, world-saving mission—full of twists, turns, and plenty of obstacles, much like Lipwig's postal escapades.

... the immersive, imaginative worldbuilding?

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

If the quirky, richly detailed city of Ankh-Morpork captured your imagination, you'll be enthralled by the shadowy, magical underworld of London Below in Neverwhere. Gaiman crafts a setting teeming with bizarre characters, strange customs, and hidden dangers, immersing you in a world as fully realized and surprising as Pratchett's Discworld.

... watching a diverse cast of characters grow, change, and form unlikely bonds?

The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

If you enjoyed seeing Moist find his place among a motley crew of postal workers, you'll love the Wayfarer crew in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Chambers' novel follows a group of misfits traveling the galaxy, with plenty of heart, humor, and deep character growth as they come together, face challenges, and learn from one another.
