Second the recommendation for the Bobiverse series; it's a fun series and I'm looking forward to the 5th book. Also Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary is an excellent read!

Bobiverse and Weirs books are great.

Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I don't want to spoil it, but it doesn't exactly take place on Earth.

Pretty safe to say that a book whose title references traveling around the galaxy doesn't spend much time on Earth.
