Terry Pratchett
Are there any aurthors similiar to Terry Pratchett?
I love Terry Pratchett but I have read and reread all of his books and was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions as to who else I might enjoy who has the same style and sense of humour as Terry Pratchett?

Thanks to everyone for all the great answers and help. 
I would certainly recommend anything by Douglas Adams, especially Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the first in the series. It’s Science Fiction, however, it’s easy to read because there’s not pages of technical description to bog you down. The same tongue-in-cheek humor appears in Adams’ books as it does in Pratchett’s.
I also would suggest the M.Y.T.H. series by Robert Asprin. This is another great comic fantasy series. A young man, Skeeve is apprentice to the wizard Garkin, but he’s a slow learner (think Rincewind). Have fun with all the messes Skeeve gets into (and out of) in the first book in the series – Another Fine Myth.
Although it’s not necessarily “fantasy” in the classic sense, Jasper Fforde’s books are always good for a chuckle. The Eyre Affair is the first in a rollicking good series. In this world, England is a police state and you can get sucked into books. Literally. Thursday Next, a literary detection Special Operative is one the case when characters start disappearing from books. Jane Eyre is snatched from the pages of the Emily Bronte book, and it’s up to Thursday to get her back. Terry Pratchett actually said of Jasper Fforde : “Ingenious. I shall watch Jasper Fforde nervously.”
If these don’t get you started try:
Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocolypse by Robert Rankin
Who’s Afraid of Beowulf by Tom Holt
Expecting Someone Taller by Tom Holt
The Master Li Series by Barry Hughart
or anything by Neil Gaiman
Best of luck to you and happy reading!
