Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett
4.0
Such a fun read! Comical, absurd, and even left me with some deeper questions to think about as the story came to a close. It is pretty complex for what it is. The best way I can describe it is... at times I felt I was in the middle of a Monty Python sketch, and at times a Sam Raimi horror film.
Fans of either author are sure to love this book. I personally have read very little Pratchett, but am a big fan of Gaiman. After reading this I have decided to bump Pratchett up on my list of "escape" literature.
I still have not watched the show, but think I will at some point now that I have read the book. It is a very visual story and I look forward to seeing how well it translates to other mediums.

The Mind of Clover: Essays in Zen Buddhist Ethics by Robert Aitken
4.0
So much to think about in this book. I really enjoyed going over the precepts one by one with Aitken's commentary. His use of quotes from Bohidharma and Dogen and others was very nice as well. Highly recommended for precept study.
