>What about readings like The Federalist Papers
Don't be that guy. Seriously.
There's some fun mythology-bending in Douglas Adams' The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul. It's his second (and, in my opinion, his best) Dirk Gently novel.
Also, there's been some mention here of American Gods, but it should also be said that Gaiman does some great stuff with various world mythologies in The Sandman comic series. It might seem counter-intuitive, but one of the best ways to start with The Sandman (if you're not so sure if it's your thing but want to check it out) is to begin with the 4th paperback volume, Season of Mists. Gives you a pretty good look into the mythos of the series itself, and also has a full cast of mythological characters from different cultures interacting and competing with each other as part of the main story-line. Good stuff.
Adams also wrote Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.
The first book there has aliens, robots and time-travellers, but it's low-key. The story's not dripping with sci-fi elements the way the Hitchhiker books are.
By the way, have you tried Terry Prattchet? Most Douglas Adams fans I know like his writing too.
Not canonical, but these are my favorites:
Douglas Adams wrote a very funny book called The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. I dont' remember how much romance is in there but there is some... anyways it's wickedly funny and has to do with gods in modern times who have lost some of their powers and walk among normal people

The Murder notebook (this one I have not actually read yet. It is sitting at home waiting for me to pick it up, but it looked interesting)
I actually had the opposite situation not too long ago. I was reading a book in a bus station, and an incredibly hot lesbian sits next to me, starts a conversation, then noticed I was reading and got up to leave. In some situations, I'm reading because I'm bored, and it's just as irritating to have people deliberately ignore you so as not to interrupt.
Anyway, I pretended it wasn't an interesting chapter and we had a nice talk.
