I haven't read the Pascal book, but it sounds like something I'd enjoy. I'll have to look for it.

I quite liked The Neverending Story, was surprised to see that the point where the movie ends is not far into the book. So there's much more than that to read. I liked the writing too. You should give it a try, but I suggest you do read it when you're in the mood for that kind of story. :)
