I have read several others as well as Good Omens which i love ! Happy reading! 8^) #139 ronincats: While I did not dislike Good Omens, I am not sure I liked it all that much, either. I had not read anything by either Gaiman or Pratchett and was not sure what to expect, and I guess it was more tongue-in-cheek than I thought it would be. Still, I will probably read more by both ...

This was a fun little book about the end of the world and the total incompetence of heaven and hell in bringing it about. Two of my favorite authors collaberating, what more could I ask for?
I loved the wary friendship between the ... Finished Good Omens, enjoyed it a lot. Starting The Dead Man's Knock by John Dickson Carr. ... Kind of funny, but not as funny as expected.
If you haven't read Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchetts collaboration Good Omens, you really should. It is hilarious.

... Finished a mystery by Ellis Peters on my trip and began Good Omens, which I am loving!
