When It's a Jar by Tom Holt
4.0

Man cannot live by Pratchett alone. Every now and then, he must venture next door and read some Holt. I sort of forgot about Holt for many years-- rediscovered him recently, and haven't regretted it.

I haven't read the first in this series-- Doughnut-- but that didn't seem to hinder my enjoyment. Holt's fiction is always a well-shaken mixture of humor and science, with an everyman protagonist who is plunged into chaos. But it's highly entertaining chaos for the reader. The protagonist generally doesn't enjoy it much.
