The Draco Tavern by Larry Niven is
a series of short stories. All the
stories are set in the same universe and are told by the same principal
character, so in the end it is a kind of loosely connected novel. The narrator is the owner of a tavern that
is a way station for aliens visiting Earth.
Each story focuses on a different aspect of this experience. The stories are quite entertaining and I
would recommend the book to any SF fan without reservation. If you’re not a SF fan but are willing to
give a book with aliens a try this would be a very good one to get started
with.
