I've read a few of his novels and thought they were damn good. I don't meet many people who feel the same, though.

I read Bloodsucking Fiends.
I liked it but I did not love it. I can't think of any glaring faults that bothered me but I felt like I was just going through the motions reading the second half of it. It had no energy left to try any of his other books.

Yah Blood Sucking Fiends and You Suck: A Love Story were alright, but I kind of felt the same.
You might get A Dirty Job a chance. Of the ones I've read, I thought it was the best of his that I've read. Although, I've heard Lamb and Fool are supposed to be good too. I haven't gotten around to them yet.

I have been following him for years, and have read every one of his releases. He's one of my favorites for humor and wit. I often find myself laughing out loud while reading one of his stories.
His books are nice, quick reads. My favorite is Lamb, followed by Bloodsucking Fiends and A Dirty Job. Fluke, Island of the Sequined Love Nun...far out there, but still funny.
If you like Chris Moore, try Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies. Isaac is a fairly new author, but he's very promising. Warm Bodies has the humor, along with a little romance and even some gore. I'm following him closely now for his next release.  |

I've read all his books.
I enjoy them quite a bit. Just read "lust lizard of melancholy cove" the other day. It wasn't amazing but it was a fun and relaxing read.
Pratchett is god btw.

They're weird, deal with it. Does not lower the awesome factor. Still weird though. And I like Robert Asprin's Myth series better than Discworld series, but Good Omens with Gaiman and Pratchet is the king of that particular comedic style.
