Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

Good Omens is, for obvious reasons, one of my favorite novels of all time. It's about the End of the World as we know it, vaguely reminiscent of the movie, The Omen. Besides being absolutely hilarious (to anyone familiar with the Book of Revelations in the Bible, anyways), it is a very hip and umm... educational treatment of an otherwise very serious subject, the Apocalypse.

As someone who pretended to be very studious about the Bible, I read Good Omens over and over again because I find something new to laugh about each time. My favorite characters are definitely that comedic duo of devil and angel, Crowley and Aziraphale. The entire cast is quirky, the plot fast-paced and full of "fracas" or "rumpus." My only complaint may be the fact that there is only one book, and there can be only one. Also, the Britishisms take a while to translate and fully appreciate if you're unfortunate enough to be an American.

I hear rumors of a movie all the time, and hope against hope that Johnny Depp plays Crowley. Even if it is only half as funny as the book, that is funny enough.
