The bobiverse books are fantastic, would suggest continuing the series as it gets even better

    Yeah, I've been hearing that sentiment, and riffs on it, here on HN for years. But it took me this long to finally get around to actually picking up Book 1. I enjoyed it a lot though, and definitely plan to continue with the series.
