He's my favorite author. OK, was. I can't believe there aren't any more books of his I can read. This is the 2nd time i've read this book (read the rest about 3 times already).

I'm pretty much a book warm, reading a lot, but still can't find any author that can match up. I mean, authors like Joseph finder etc are good and all, but they don't make me laugh, or think, or care, like Douglas did.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an author from the same niche?... I'm hopeless
Terry Pratchett methinks.

I thought it would be good of course.

Nobody likes every album they hear. Why do you expect this to be true with books?


Oh by the way I saw you at the movies... it was weird.
