I love books that have someone actively confronting a problem and trying out solutions, sometimes nefarious, and working through to an unexpected solution. Or just a con of some sort. Bonus points if I learn something and it’s funny.
I don’t know a ton of books like this, but I think these books have this in common:
-Danny champion of the world (Dahl was a master schemer)
-project hail Mary
-catch me if you can
-confedacy of dunces has some of these elements, and it’s probably the funniest book I know
-oceans eleven if that was a book, but that ventures a little too much into heist. Maybe those are books
-vonnegut kinda gets into this
