Finished up my reread of Tom Holt’s first “Kevin Godson” novel, Only Human and plunged right into the I-guess-it’s-a-sequel, The Management Style of the Supreme Beings.

For the uninitiated, Kevin is God’s other son, Jesus’s younger brother, of whom very little is expected. Both novels start out with Dad and Jay going fishing, leaving The Kid in the nominal care of his Uncle Ghost. The first book involves Kevin accidentally hitting some keys on the divine Mainframe and thereby wreaking havoc on Earth. The second makes no explicit mention of the first’s events (at least so far), but has Dad and Jay return to tell Kevin that they’re selling the family business, meaning he’ll have to move out. Instead of coming along with them in their new RV, he strikes out alone.

If you’re okay with a satirical look at religion and like Douglas Adams’s style of humor, I recommend both. (Well, at least so far. Full disclosure, I’m only a third of the way into the sequel, so it is theoretically possible that it could go seriously wrong… but I doubt it.)
