Good Omens
by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Aziraphale is a fastidious angel who runs a rare bookshop in London, and Crowley is a demon who prefers a vintage Bentley to the fires of hell. They have spent millennia enjoying the finer things on Earth and have developed a rather inconvenient fondness for humanity. When the Antichrist is born and the apocalypse is officially scheduled for next Saturday, the pair decides to sabotage the end of the world. The writing is a seamless collision of Pratchett's dry, systemic satire and Gaiman's penchant for the mythic. It is a brisk, dialogue-heavy romp that treats the end of days with a shrug and a glass of wine. You will love this if you enjoy stories where the grand, cosmic forces of the universe are ultimately undone by their own absurdity and a few well-meaning blunders.
