Hi everyone do you have any recommendations on something that's light and funny but also deep? I mean I would like something that can have me reflect on aspects of life without being too heavy, and I really enjoy a book when it has me laughing out loud. I don't have a preferred genre so I'm open to any suggestion.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy- Douglas Adams
The Sirens Of Titan – Kurt Vonnegut. Sci-com, one of my all-time favorite novels— about the meaning of life, and the inspiration behind Hitch-Hiker’s Guide.
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead – Tom Stoppard. A comic absurdist play set within Hamlet.
The Futurological Congress – Stanislaw Lem. Another sci-com, basically Philip K Dick meets Brave New World— lighter than the previous two in terms of depth, but much more than say Douglas Adams
The Crying Of Lot 49 – Thomas Pynchon. Insanely deep, very complex,, incredibly funny – about information technology, thermodynamic systems, outsiders, and the limits of human understanding.
