I don't know how I missed this thread. I love the guy. I remember reading Small Gods on the way to Alaska and having to laugh out loud repeatedly. Looking forward to seeing what they do with Good Omens. Didn't get terribly far into his work but what I saw was genius.

Of course, you are. You gave me the books. The books caused me to stay up late. Ergo... a few more Latin words... I am blaming you. After all, I had to find out if the butler did it. He didn't.

grapes, do you like terry Pratchett or are you being a smart aleck?

if the former, please know that I've found a few more duplicates. would you care for a copy of jingo? i'm giving pumpkin pi first crack at witches abroad and good omens.

How I missed this, I don't remember.

Anyway, I really like Terry Pratchett. He sometimes posted to alt.fan.cecil-adams, encouraged by sjf1959 (Deborah), way back when

grapes, i will check to see if I have anything to send to you.
and still i persist in wondering whether folly must always be our nemesis. edgar pangborn

come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun. william shakespeare
