I finished that series a few weeks ago and I still crave that kind of humor

    Well… yes and no.

    I’ve never read anything else that combines humor, wit, philosophy and phrase-turning in quite the same way.

    Some that are at least similar in one or another way:

    Lots of Terry Pratchett’s stuff - I’d especially recommend Guards! Guards! or Monstrous Regiment.

    Tom Robbins, and especially Jitterbug Perfume

    A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

    Kurt Vonnegut, and especially Cat’s Cradle or Sirens of Titan.

    Most anything by Carl Hiaasen. He writes in a completely different genre, but with a very similar sense of the absurd.

    Will Save the Galaxy for Food by Yahtzee Croshaw.

    Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch
