John Scalzi’s **Starter Villain** is the most entertaining book I’ve read recently.
It’s a spoof of the early James Bond movies wherein a substitute teacher inherits his estranged uncle’s villainy which comes complete with a secret volcanic lair.
Non-fiction **What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions** by Randall Munroe.
It consists of a series of questions on pop-sci and pop-culture, each answered in one or two paragraphs. The answers are hilarious in a dry-humored way.
An example question is: What would happen if you hit a baseball pitched at 90% of the speed of light?
