I read 2 of Martinez' books that I could recommend: Gil's All Fright Diner, and The Automatic Detective. Gil's is about a werewolf and vamp traveling together, who stop at a diner where all hell breaks loose - it is a completely unromantic read, very funny. The Automatic Detective is about a sentient robot who decides to become a private investigator, again very funny. I started "Too Many Curses" and thought it was just too silly and stupid. So you might want to try one of the 2 I liked and see (esp if you can get from library).
If you like laugh out loud moments in books, depending on your tastes in genre, you might want to try Christopher Moore (The Stupidest Angel, The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove- where a psychiatrist decides to replace patient's meds with placebos while a sea monster comes ashore) or Terry Pratchett (Making Money, Soul Music, so many good ones). For truly weird, try Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair,
where you can REALLY get lost in a good book.
