Oh man! I LOVED Good Omens! I bought it at a thrift store, and then my whole family fought over it. I think everyone in my house has read it more than once. ^__^ Good stuff! I liked dog.

:cry: you guys probably won't believe me, but terry pratchett was in the city today! and i had just finished my chem exam, walked through city, and saw him!! it was a book signing thing, and unfortunately, having isloated myself from the world for the past month, i've heard nothing about this, and the line, um, it ran pretty much for about 4oom of people... and i needed to go home :( 2 more exams to go *sobs* so i missed my one oppertunity to get my favorite book (unadulterate cat, sitting in my bag ready to be read for the upteenth time) signed by my favorite author! *sigh* the world is evil *grumbles* i guess i also didn't hear about it since it was organised by angus and robertson, which are the main rivals to the bookstore i frequent, haven't had a good history with A&R so tend to avoid it, what a shame :(

Jim, i don't recognise that reference, which book is that from?
If you see my sanity, get it to give me a call.
