If your desire is for sore stomach and cheek muscles, and you enjoy witty and intelligent word-play, then I would like to recommend Robert Asprin's Myth series (even though he seemed to have run out of steam at around the seventh book).

Alas, Mr. Asprin has also passed on, just last year.

Responding, though, to the thread's title question: Optimism; there will be more. For proof that it will be that way (because it always has been), I submit Aristophanes' (446 - 386 BC) Lysistrata, and Apuleius' (2d century AD) The Golden Ass.

Read, Enjoy, and Take Heart.
