Finished "Bill the galactic hero and the planet of the robot slaves" by Harry Harrison. Liked it enough to read some more by the same writer, so am now reading "Star smashers of the Galaxy Rangers". It's ok, but at times it's actually hilariously over the top. I've actually read this book decades ago, but I must have been very young at the time because I don't remember it being a satire.
I read that as a teen, and remember liking it, plus a sequel or two. I should go re-read them. I've recently finished reading all the Stainless Steel Rat books by Harry Harrison, and highly recommend them. The pace is relentless. Ignore all the hand-waving and you'll have a lot of fun.
I've actually just finished the first stainless steel rat book.
