The following are some of my favorite books that I could think of off the top of my head. Hopefully you dig the list.

I think you're talking about A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. Many of his other books share the same world, so there's a bit of crossover.

OK, not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but what I thought of was A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. It's about a very nerdy, neurotic guy (a beta male) who has to cope with being widowed and spoiler redacted many other complications. It's maybe lighter and funnier than what you were looking for, but it really is a hopeful and funny read.

I only have one project going right now that I'm actually paying attention to, and that's Morrígan :) I've kind of been ambling my way through it, so I'm only halfway through the third repeat (I want to do 6 and a half before starting the edging) but it's a really easy pattern!

This is actually my first laceweight lace project, and it's going well :)

And if you like book recs with your knitting, I started knitting this because of the Morrigan characters in one of my favorite books.

Not sure about series, but Christopher Moore's stuff is really good if you like Satire.

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal - Is an amazing book.

A Dirty Job: A Novel - was pretty good too.

Island of the Sequined Love Nun. A pilot in the tropics crash lands on an island to find out a doctor and his wife have used the natives' belief in a cargo cult to sell the natives' body parts in Japan's black market organ transplant trade. The part that got me was the pilot seeing a young boy with bandages over his eyes.

Ps. Christopher Moore writes absurdist fiction, my favorite if his is A Dirty Job

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore.

>

>Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy with a normal life, married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. They're even about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie's doing okay—until people start dropping dead around him, and everywhere he goes a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Charlie Asher, it seems, has been recruited for a new position: as Death.

>It's a dirty job. But, hey! Somebody's gotta do it.

I'd like to suggest A Dirty Job - Christopher Moore http://www.amazon.com/A-Dirty-Job-Novel/dp/0060590289

I was trying to branch out from my usual sci-fi/fantasy genre and a friend recommended this. I found it fantastic.

While I don't think it compares to some of the, obvious, more popular choices.

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. Hilarious, a great story, and all his books tie into one another in some way, shape or form. He really is an amazing storyteller.

Nevermind, I remembered another thing about the book - the character sees important items that glow. I found it! It's A Dirty Job
