What books/movies show aliens as having a very different mind/thought process?

Almost all SciFi, when they have aliens, have them either as something we don't understand at all or as a human thought process/culture/abilities with certain exaggerations that make them an outlier compared to humans, but something that there are a few humans that would match.

In other words Ferengi are like a human that's very cowardly and is an amoral merchant. Unusual traits for a human but there are some people like that. We can understand them.

The book I've seen that does this the best is The Lost Fleet where the different aliens all are very different. It's not possible to think of them as a human with certain exaggerated traits.

What else does this well?

How can I Hold my pistol steady?

I'm brand new to this and have shot a pistol for an hour 6 times. On my target the center dot often has no holes while the first ring around it is filled with holes.

The rear sights I have locked framing the target. But the front sight is moving like a hummingbird bouncing around the center point on the target.

What's the best way to hold a pistol to keep the front still/solid? And if the answer is I just need more time trying, how much longer?

TIA

What do you most miss from home?

When we return from the cruise we all miss all the wonderful things on the cruise. But we all also are thankful to get back to some things we missed from home.

What are you most happy to get back when you return home?

For me it's pint glasses from the freezer. For both beer and milk. Not just home but most restaurants I regularly go to have pint glasses in either a fridge or freezer. That's how beer is meant to be fully enjoyed.
