I've read Neil Gaiman's Stardust, Smoke and Mirrors, and Anansi Boys. I LOVED them! Anansi Boys was my favourite. In it, the character Spider reminds me SO much of Crowley!

As for Terry Pratchett, I love him! I've read the following books from his Discworld series - The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites, Thief of Time, Night Watch, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Maskerade, Monstrous Regiment and Wintersmith. All are absolutely WONDERFUL! I also read his non-Discworld books Johnny and the Dead, and Only You Can Save Mankind. The last one in particular, while very funny, also had a serious tone and was quite thought-provoking.

I agree - both authors by themselves are great, but together they are awesome. Magical. Unbelievable. Ineffable.
