Terry Pratchett. His Discworld stories are a total crack up.

If you like older sci-fi, try Asimov or Heinlein. Ted Sturgeon writes some strange stuff, which is pretty entertaining.

For harder sci-fi (more tech) probably can't beat Greg Benford.

Literally came here with Zelazny in mind. His short stories are amazing too. Asimov's a no-brainer too. Good stuff.

Just want to point out that my kudos is contingent upon the idea that you're kidding.

Oh, Frank Herbet. Dune is life.
