Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for something to replace Goodreads with for a while now. Just checked out StoryGraph and it looks really good and was easy to port over my lists from GR. Liking the experience so far.

I’ve been considering reading these books. This might just be the thing that pushes me to start.

That’s a great call. I forgot about that movie. That is a good take on a slasher while also making fun of the genre.

I love Mel Brooks movies, but I think they’re just straight spoofs. For example Blazing Saddles while great and did such a great job skewering Westerns that it has been argued it killed the genre, it just isn’t a Western in it’s own right.

That’s his secret. He’s always smiling.

The line after that, “there is no available to replace him,” was especially shocking since they do have Riccardo just sitting there

Mark Lawrence has several trilogies that fit into this genre. They’re fantasy books but the setting/universe is based on science fiction.

Series that I’ve read and recommend:

Broken Empire

Holy Sister

Red Queens War

I found them all an enjoyable mix of dark/grim fantasy with a good mix of humor. These series all tend to follow an anti-hero or in Broken Empire’s case you could argue it’s a villain protagonist given just how unsavory a character Jorg is. Even still I found myself liking and rooting for that bastard.

How are the rest of the books in the series? I only read the one. While I enjoyed it I did find it a bit dry and tough to navigate the jargon at times. Especially in the first third or so of the book.

It’s not recent, but Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is very much the anti James Bond. It’s set in the heart of the Cold War. The villain is not a cartoonist figure bent on world domination, but is much more grounded in reality.

I haven’t read them but the Bourne series may also be of interest to you

You Bastard!
