Please allow me to suggest another author to help ween you from Mr Hiaasen's books, which are fabulous. I assure you the transition should be painless.

Christopher Buckley and in particular two of his books.

Thank You for Smoking    &    Little Green Men 

Take the same general level of misfits and put them in Washington. I had never read a political comedy before I found Mr. Buckley. These are two I enjoyed immensely.

Happy reading
