I think someone mentioned "Will Save the Galaxy for Food" before, but even if didn't, any comparison to Douglas Adams immediately puts that book in my wishlist. Going to check it out.
John Scalzi, as I may have mentioned before, is a weird writer for me. I have been following him on different social media for many many years, but I have never read any of his books. I should rectify this soon. Thinking about ordering his Old Man's War series soon.
The Jacques Mckeown books have been very entertaining so far. I'm irritated that Audible is paying him to make them timed audio exclusives, but what can you do? Douglas Adams was my favorite author so I don't use the comparison lightly. Slight complaint, Yahtzee loves the word nacelle
A personal Scalzi recommendation would be Kaiju Preservation Society. It's short, shows his humor pretty well, and should give you an idea if you want to start his books. Personally I didn't find Old Man's War to be his best work
Interesting. Thanks for the recommendation!
