Can you suggest me books in the style of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams? (kbin.social)

Those two are my favorite authors, but sadly I've read all their work and neither are making any more.

I absolutely love that style of writing and I'd love to know if there's more like them!

Those two are hard to top!

You may enjoy 'Tuf's Voyaging'. An early G.r.r. Martin novel, about some dude space traveling.

It's more pulpy, but if you're fantasy starved, try Jack Vance (especially the Dying Earth series).
He's a very prolific and inventive writer. DnD pretty much copied his magic system.
