If you found yourself laughing at the absurd escapades and offbeat narration in The Stench of Honolulu, you'll love Catch-22.

The humor is just as sharp and irreverent, making it a perfect next read.

If you enjoyed following Jack Handey’s clueless narrator through perilous and hilarious misadventures, you’ll have a blast with Arthur Dent’s journey in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Arthur is swept into an intergalactic quest full of bizarre logic, random dangers, and oddball characters, all told with the same sense of absurdity.

If you were entertained by the narrator’s cluelessness and wild storytelling in The Stench of Honolulu, you’ll appreciate Ignatius J. Reilly’s utterly misguided perspective in A Confederacy of Dunces. Ignatius’s self-importance and obliviousness to reality create endless comic moments, making for an unforgettable reading experience.

If you loved the unapologetically irreverent and occasionally off-color jokes in The Stench of Honolulu, The Sellout will be right up your alley. Beatty’s satire is sharp, provocative, and laugh-out-loud funny, skewering American culture through the eyes of a delightfully outrageous protagonist.

If you appreciated the clear, easygoing prose and the way the narrator’s voice keeps the story moving in The Stench of Honolulu, Lucky Jim is a great fit. Amis’s novel is a classic of comic fiction, with a bumbling academic protagonist whose misadventures and mishaps are told in a similarly direct, laugh-inducing style.
