If you loved the sharp, irreverent humor and satirical tone in Return Of Fursey, you'll be delighted by Good Omens. Gaiman and Pratchett’s take on the impending apocalypse features the bumbling angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, whose misadventures are every bit as absurd, dry, and laugh-out-loud as Fursey’s misfortunes with monks and magic. The witty dialogue and clever send-ups of religious tropes will keep you grinning from start to finish.

If you were fascinated by Fursey’s hapless, morally ambiguous journey through supernatural chaos, you'll find a similar delight in The Master and Margarita. Bulgakov’s characters—especially the devilish Woland and the beleaguered Master—blur the lines between good and evil, making you question the very nature of morality amidst absurdity and magic in Soviet Moscow.

If you enjoyed the surreal and loosely-defined magic that swept Fursey into chaos, The Third Policeman will enchant you. O'Brien’s novel features a bizarre world where logic is upended and the supernatural is treated with deadpan absurdity—whether it’s the infamous atomic theory of bicycles or the mysterious police station, magic here is as unpredictable and mischievous as in Fursey’s Ireland.

If you appreciated the satirical look at monks, faith, and the supernatural in Return Of Fursey, Small Gods is a must-read. Pratchett’s Discworld novel lampoons organized religion and belief through the misadventures of Brutha, a reluctant prophet, and Om, a god trapped in a tortoise’s body. The book’s clever, irreverent take on spirituality mirrors Fursey’s comic encounters with piety and dogma.

Much like Fursey’s whirlwind journey through the supernatural, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy offers a fast-paced, unpredictable adventure where absurdity reigns. Follow Arthur Dent as he’s swept from Earth to the far reaches of space, encountering bizarre creatures and improbable situations—all delivered with a comedic, satirical edge reminiscent of Fursey’s misadventures.
