Electra Galaxy's Mr. Interstellar Feller
Thank you to the anonymous benefactor who sent me this book. This is a great example of the reason why I enjoy reading bad books.

How can I fail to enjoy that?

Ok, really it’s a story about one space Mayan falling in love with one abusive guy and one alcoholic guy and the author pretends it has something to do with quantum physics.
