If you loved the irreverent wit and satirical twists of Sir Apropos of Nothing, you'll delight in The Princess Bride. Goldman's novel skewers fairy tale conventions with laugh-out-loud dialogue, outrageous situations, and a self-aware tone. From the clever banter between Westley and Inigo to the absurd 'Cliffs of Insanity' sequence, this book matches Peter David's style for humor and genre subversion.

Like Apropos, whose self-interest and dubious ethics drive his adventures, the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley in Good Omens are complex, morally ambiguous characters. They bend rules, make deals with questionable figures, and fumble through the apocalypse with charm, wit, and plenty of gray areas. If you enjoyed cheering for a protagonist who's far from perfect, you'll relish this comedic fantasy.

If Apropos's scheming nature and refusal to play the traditional 'hero' appealed to you, you'll be hooked by Locke Lamora. Lynch's protagonist is a con artist navigating Camorr's criminal underworld, surviving through wit, trickery, and a flexible moral code. Watching Locke outsmart nobles and thieves alike offers the same subversive thrill as following Apropos’s exploits.

If you enjoyed the unpredictable, whimsical approach to magic in Sir Apropos of Nothing, Sourcery is a perfect match. Pratchett’s Discworld is full of chaotic magical mishaps, and Rincewind’s misadventures are both hilarious and absurd. The magic here is as much a source of comedy as plot, echoing Peter David’s lighthearted touch.

If Apropos’s story kept you guessing with its subversive twists and unexpected turns, you’ll love Douglas Adams’s iconic sci-fi romp. From Earth’s sudden demolition to Zaphod Beeblebrox’s unlikely presidency, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is packed with surprises and left-field developments that keep the reader laughing—and guessing—until the end.
