But of course!  As a collaboration between two (2!) of my absolute favorite 
authors (Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman), I do already own several copies of 
this one, and I cannot rate it highly enough.  I think I've read it about 
five times.  I intend to read it to any kid I may have when he or she gets 
old enough, because I also believe it makes a fabulous children's novel, in 
the grand old tradition of Roald Dahl.  I mean, what little kid wouldn't want 
to hear about a gang of eleven-year-olds who bring the world to the edge of 
Armageddon?

Also, in my earlier post I forgot to mention a few other authors good for 
both thinking and laughs -- Connie Willis (altho she seems more serious 
lately - but "Bellwether" is a must for any fan of chaos theory), Jonathen 
Lethem, Christopher Moore, Neil Stephenson and Christopher Brookmyre.  
Unfortunately, Brookmyre is only available in the UK or from amazon.co.uk.  
He writes "Scottish Noir" fiction which is truly amazing.

I'm very excited about the suggestions so far...I'm just hoping the dinky 
library here in Cary is able to satisfy some of these requests.

Thanks!

Diana
