What are some books similar to Adventure Time? I really love this show and I really want to know if there's anything written similar to it.

This is bait, but still:
Salman Rushdie "Satanic Verses", and the oft memed about Gravity's Rainbow, sort of.

This is not bait. I wanted to get into reading again but I don't know how to start. So I posted a TV show I really liked, or I'm looking up movies I really like and similar to books and I find nothing.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, then.
If you are looking for something that is both infantile, dreamlike, and somewhat grounded in reality, magical realism movement may appeal to you. This genre usually focuses on spiritual in mundane, and the conflict between the two, although not as extreme as in AT. I've watched only a bit so i can't be sure.
This is generally a bad place to start reading, though.
I always thought Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was similar to it for some reason
Maybe it's the name

Book of the New Sun

Okay, if you think that magic realism is a bad place, can you tell me a book where two people try to get into conflict to win over the heart of a city? One noble and the other one trying to drive the city into insanity? I really like this idea too.

Three Muskateers.
It's one of those classic books that everyone always says you should read, but you never do because it sounds boring.
It's fucking good, and has a lot of the jovial humor and fun from Adventure Time mixed with Dumas' gripping drama like from the Count of Monte Cristo.
It's a real easy book for people to get into, even if they're not really interested in reading.

>This is bait
Because someone sincerely likes something?

>Is this a bootleg copy of Adventure Time?
Oh boy.
It's a fantasy book that has nothing to do with Adventure Time. The world is kind of similar to AT in the sense that it's mysterious and has a deep lore you have to do some digging to find.

No, I suspect a lot of people watched AT - I did, for example. It's just a signature reddit thing to do, which doesn't spoil the work, but attaches a stigma to it. A lot of people on this board have read King, I think, but they don't talk about it - it's a convention of sorts. Breaking such conventions usually implies intent, as people are generally familiar with the board culture.
There is nothing bad about liking something, of course. It is just that people are generally insecure about such things and wouldn't share them unless they anticipate a certain reaction.

I certainly wouldn't start with this, but maybe Mason & Dixon? It's way more complex but at its core it's a hilariously whimsical and sometimes really feelsy story about two buddies journeying through a strange land as told to a group of children. Oh and there's a talking dog as well
