bailedwoah, eww, and what did I just read? I think I liked it? Everything that is happening in this book is confusing. I honestly have no idea who this book would be appealing to. It is vulgar and vile, but also hilarious. The explicit language and constant mentioning of being horny because of so many different things was just too much for me. The sci-fic aspect was the coolest part with giant grasshoppper/praying mantis-type bugs taking over the world.
pick“Everybody dies, everything ends—but not now. Not now.”
This book covers the end of the world as we know it, or at least the end of humanity, and how that may come to pass. Chapters feature ways we‘ll go out like pandemics, nuclear weapons, climate change, overpopulation, war, cosmic events and more. Far from depressing, this was a fun look at the way humans have thought about the end of times over many years, through books, movies, etc.
pickI finally found the motivation to begin my reading journey for the year in this delightfully unexpected little book. The writing style was unique and it truly felt like a relic from another world plagued by a terrible calamity. The themes of disease and the struggle to determine cause and cure are accentuated by the brutal imagery of the zombies being autopsied while still “alive.“
“You have my whole heart. You always did.”
A terrifying journey through an earth that promises a world of ash, fire and danger, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. To me, a classic

I did not participate in the Good Omens kickstarter campaign as I wasn‘t aware of it until around the time the accusations against NG became public. If there are any littens who have contributed to the campaign, Terry Pratchett Estate posted an update that NG will not be receiving any proceeds.
