Redshirts
by John Scalzi
From chapter one, I knew Redshirts was going to be a favorite. (and it only got better.) This book is a high-flying, meta, and often hilarious scifi epic, especially for aspiring writers or anyone who's ever binge-watched Star Trek (although I've recommended it to everyone I've spoken to since finishing the book). It really has it all; intergalactic adventuring. Top-notch gallows humor. Borgovian Land Worms. Scalzi's writing style is fast-paced and funny, and his characters dynamic and easy to get attached to. Redshirts took me by the collar and, for 320 pages, swung me from uncontrollable laughter to soul-crushing existentialism. 11/10, would read again.
