Small Gods was my first Pratchett, and I enjoyed the hell out of it.
I just started The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, like, FINALLY. It is, of course, damn good.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

And well, not anal. My records aren't even in alphabetical order.
I can vouch for that, which was a real bugger when I was trying to raid his collection on the way through. From now on I'm calling him Ozymandias, because I gazed upon his works and despaired.
Re Pratchett, I tend to recommend Wyrd Sisters. For it is damn funny, and indicates that the guy can handle a plot as well.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Youse guys probably already did this, but I will still recommend Perdido Street Station.

Always Anti-fascist!
Well, babe, we only have your word that it is. And you're biased. Wouldn't want to get in "contrapment"

If I only had a brain...
You both know that's a Photoshopped parody, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
How can you tell?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
