Fist book read in 2008...although unintentionally. I have several other books and audio books I have been working on, but I had been looking through my books to see what to take back to Binghamton with me, and I started to read "Good Omens" just to see if it should be a WEEKEND=PA book or a WORK WEEK=NY book and I sort of just sat there and read it all that day, oops. Just goes to show you how engrossing this book it, and hilarious. It is silly and irreverant, and very well written. If you get a kick from the movie "Dogma" this would be right up your alley, as it is quite a funny take on christian religion, but underneath the gem that is the super funny writing there is a great deal of philosphy, it does make you think about the strength of humanity, about the temptation, fall, and building up of all of us. I'm glad I started 2008 with such a bang. ( )

When I was 21 I decided to join the socialist workers party, my friend Kim had concerns and gave me this book as a gift. ( )

There's been a huge mistake. Two babies have been switched at birth. Now, a normal little boy is being raised to lead the hounds of Hell and the Antichrist is trying to get his suburbian friends to help him rule the world. Through all of this, angles, demons, and the decendant of a prophet try to preven the end of the world--and succeed in getting me to fall off my chair laughing more than once. This is the first book I read by either author and turned me quickly to their other writings. I'm in love. ( )

A fun read, full of silliness and humour. ( )

This may be the funniest book I've ever read. A laugh out loud book. The best, most clever use of footnotes ever--Oscar Woa copied. If you like Gaiman or Pratchett it is a must read. If you hate the traffic in London, it is also a must read. ( )
