Just done a reread of these and would gladly reread again.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (all 5 books in the series)

They are short enough that you could easily read all of them in a couple months at a steady pace.

As a weekly player with friends, bees and cuccos are pretty fun when they show up. My favourite though is definitely the Home Run bat. So satisfying to hit each player with it.

One of the few that probably goes against this is Julie Kavner, voice of Marge Simpsons. You can tell how different she sounds after 35+ years of doing Marge, Patty and Selma. I think it’s one of the reasons Marge seems to have less lines in more recent episodes.
