Hee! My co-worker just told me I'd like Good Omens, too. I didn't pick it up cause of the Terry Pratchett thing cause I tried to read Pyramids and one of the witches books and couldn't get into it.
Slap my hand now!

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aimee, now you need to read Anansi Boys.

I couldn't really get into Pratchett either but I loved Good Omens, fwiw.
Have you read the Sandman? Not a novel, obviously, but a very good story nonetheless.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ditto.

I've not. I think Joe has it. Somewhere.

Or maybe Neverwhere.

If Joe doesn't have it, tell him I'm revoking his ComicGeek card this instant.
I think you would like Coraline and Good Omens a lot.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have Stardust, which I think you would like. My Coraline is at school. Em would adore The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish. I have Sandman, if Joe is missing any. Although, I'm not sure I'd recommend it for you. I also have Good Omens, Mr Punch, and 1602 (Oh! You should read 1602! It's Marvel Superheroes in Elizabethan England and the colonies.). I am currently reading Neverwhere, but would gladly lend it to you when I finish.
Ummm...not that I'm a Gaiman fangirl or anything.

Yeah, I think Aimee would like Stardust, and much of Gaiman. Don't think she would like Neverwhere. Just an impression.
