Lamb and Good Omens are constantly vying for my top spot. Also in contention with Pride and Prejudice. Because.

Pratchett also wrote more women and wrote them well. In both Adams and Vonnegut, the women feel more like props in general. Vonnegut admits to never really writing women and while I like Trillian and Fenchurch, neither are half so well written as Magrat (much less Tiffany or Esme.)

Hey, whatever I select.

I did a semester in London in 1998 and was so delighted to go into a bookshop and there were 2 Discworlds that hadn't been released in the US yet and I got to read them RIGHT THEN. It was awesome.

I really love that one and always have it on my Kindle.

Oh, and the Monks of Cool. Man, I effing loved them.

That's one of my favorite quotes ever. Right up there with 'If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember.'

Dashed convincin', the way she bent the poker like that.

Binky.

Lords and Ladies for all the glorious Shakespearean touches. Then Hogfather. The Tiffany Aching books. Small Gods. Soul Music. Really love them all but anything with Esme and Vimes the most. Also fond of Moist. And outside of Discworld, Good Omens is in my top five books of all time.

Mindy's acceptance of her future child's possible alternate gender identity as being a chance to still "win" was both awesome and hilarious.

Shouldn't they just be called disembowels?

Why are you drippings with goo?

Surely there are still boxes of cake mix at the supermarkets. Even without eggs, it would still be better….as for baking without electricity, they're in Tuscon. Surely one could just shove a cake tin in a metal box and stick it outside for a few hours….

Agreed. Bedazzling pillows is a totally awesome coping mechanism.

Look, if the royals can mostly get away with week chins and excessive bleeding…

Two weeks, TWO WEEKS I am going overseas and THAT'S when they have their shows. Is it because I have a cabbage for a head?

Actually, revising: if the love child of Sartre and Martin McDonagh wrote a sitcom.

Loved it. If Sartre wrote sitcoms, this is what ya'd get.
