I have read both, and thoroughly enjoyed each. Good Omens was my first exposure to him, actually, and I adored it. Read it about four times now. After reading a couple of Discworld novels I've decided that my love for the novel must all be Neil, cuz Pratchett gets under my skin in a most incredible way.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Man, Sandman is even better on the second reading.
And the third, and the fourth, and the so many times you've actually lost count ...

Wee Free Men is a lot closer in tone to the Good Omens work than to the other Discworld stuff, so you may wish to give it a shot.

This is true, and is also true of its sequel Hat Full of Sky.

Heh. We have two copies of that sitting on the couch right now. Or, I should say Emily has two copies of that sitting on the couch right now.

Which we don't own, because Paul was/is waiting for the paperback.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

You'll like it, I think. It's got a lot of the same spirit of the first book, with some really moving little bits.
BTW, Plei--I e-mailed you earlier, but then realized I have, like, three e-mail addresses for you. Did things get to you OK?

I adore Pratchett. Well, I adore His Grace Sir Samuel Vimes, Commander of the City Watch of Ankh-Morpork. Watching him go from Captain Vimes to Duke of Ankh-Morpork has been oodles of fun. As Vetinari's clerk said, "My lord, if you didn't have Captain Vimes, you would have to invent him." "Drumknott, what makes you think I didn't?"

Not much of a fan of Carrot. He bothers me.

I can't even.
I don't do Pratchett but I enjoyed Gaiman's Neverwhere tremendously. Reading American Gods now and struggling, sadly. I don't think it is for me. I have Will Shetterly's Chimera to read before Friday.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I couldn't make it through American Gods and I loved Neverwhere. I also love Pratchett.
JZ, thanks. I'm sure that was hard to post.
Much health and strength ~ma for Jilli's friends.
Health~ma to your mom, Cashmere, and peace to you. My brother used to do what she's been doing. I hope she starts taking better care of herself.
Timelies. Yeah, a little late in the day. Aidan had therapy today. It went very well, though he was exhausted by the end. Figuring out which shape goes in which hole is hard work.
