I'll second this! Amazing book . Some may call it silly, but it actually hangs together better (without any particular care taken to that end) than many "serious" SF stories out there .

Another one I'd recommend - Slow train to Arcturus (DRM-free from Baen). Light and entertaining and something that I think might appeal to a wide audience.
