Terry Pratchett is excellent. He is hilarious, I've read every single Discworld book (the main story ones not ones like the Science of Discworld and what not) and I eagerly await the next one. Neil Gaiman is also great, I read American Gods and Anansi Boys. I am going to get his latest book next time I am home from college. Pratchett adn Gaiman also wrote a book together called Good Omens, I suggest looking into that if you haven't already. Gaiman is also known for his Sandman graphic novels which are up there with Watchmen in terms of popularity and quality.
I am slowly, but surely, working my way through Pratchett's books. There are quite a few to go through, hah. It doesn't help that when I go book shopping, I tend to buy four or five at a time, all from different series, meaning I have even more books to work through before I can get to Pratchett.
I have all of Gaiman's books, including Good Omens (which I have read, loved, and loaned out to others who all ended up buying their own copies), but I haven't gotten to some of them just yet. Don't have Sandman, though; I'm hoping to acquire it in due time. I've never heard a single negative comment about that series.
This post needs more Neil:
I went to Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess's signing for
Blueberry Girl, it was magnificent.
