Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the entire 6-part (or however many books) trilogy by Douglas Adams. My favourite book in the trilogy is "Young Zaphod Learns To Play It Safe", but all of the books are equally engaging, hilarious, captivating, etc. The characters are at once real yet bizarre and outlandish.
I could go on and on, but I won't. Wow, I really feel like reading it again!
... and that's all I have to say about that.
