You want some adult books that arent full of negative crap go read some Terry Pratchett. All my life these are some of the only ones that make me laugh out loud consistently while still having a great plot, characters, and just overall excellent writing in so many ways.
And when you're done you go read Douglas Adams, and not just the book with the towels.
I agree but the towel books are a good place to start. I also recommend the Dirk Gently series. But don't stop with fiction. At least read the meaning of liff.

And Last Chance to See! It’s somehow almost as absurd as his fictional works.
Absolutely, and reading it today where cellphones and internet are omnipresent takes it to a whole other level.
