Kilgore Trout's Tralfamadore Series is excellent, though hard to find. The farting and tap dancing mix well with the 9 iron chip shots and the homosexual midget barstool prophets, who actually predicted the end of the auto industry.
Other than that, anything by John Wyndham is great!

Damn you. My reply was going to be, "anything by Kilgore Trout."

Is Kurt Vonnegut is the author of series ?
I can give a shot.
How do I start with this, is every book about different stuff or they are connected with each other and then I should start reading title #1 ?

Vonnegut mentions the fictional science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout, in many of his novels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilgore_Trout
Vonnegut began as a science fiction writer himself, and many of his novels have odd science fiction aspects seamlessly woven into them, but I wouldn't call him a science fiction writer. If he was, I wouldn't read him. (No offense to lovers of science fiction -- simply not my cup of tea.)
