I’ve been reading a lot of horror and psychological thrillers lately and I’m finding myself getting bored and the books becoming predictable. Looking for a fun palate cleanser
The most entertaining book I’ve read recently is John Scalzi’s **Starter Villain**. It’s a spoof on the early James Bond movies. A substitute teacher inherits a villainy from his estranged uncle. It comes with a secret volcanic lair.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. A strange but delightful and not at all predictable little book.

Anything by Christopher Moore. The Fool series (Fool, The Serpent of Venice, Shakespeare for Squirrels) and the Vampire Series (Bloodsucking Fiends, You Suck, Bite Me) are great. So are A Dirty Job and Second Hand Souls. Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal is excellent, too.
