Reread Good Omens. Keep reading it until you can open the book to any random page and continue reading without missing a beat. Let the text flow through you like water until it becomes a part of who you are. Then pick up Discworld.
The show did really well to adapt the book, but like is often the case, there’s a few changes and cuts for a better narrative flow for the medium.
I’d give the show a solid 8/10, with the book being a full 10/10, perfect balance of comedy with drama, and you can really feel Gaiman and Pratchett coming together to tell a story with both unique voices carrying through.
What is good omens? I read the sci-fi shelves in their entirety growing up, so I’ve likely read it… But if I haven’t, I could really use a new hyperfixation
It’s high quality comedy from Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The base idea being that the biblical antichrist and final battle is real and approaching but the angel and demon who are meant to be leading the battle between good and evil have decided that after thousands of years on earth they’re actually ok with the status quo.
It’s also a TV series which was a reasonable adaptation (at least the first series, haven’t watched past that) but the book is as usual superior.

I thought the good omens show was really good. I haven’t read the book.

I can’t. All my SSD space has been taken up by both memes and Star Trek (not even a fucking joke) and I has no space for anymore.
I mean that both literally (my PC is dying, I am having to cannibalize old stuff and I hate this) and figuratively (breain)
Physical books?
Doesn’t change the fact that brain doesn’t have the space for it
