为什么值得读
- 普拉切特与盖曼罕见合作的幽默之作
- 脑洞大开地将现代烦扰归因于恶魔作祟
- 笔触极其风趣且对人性有敏锐洞察
你要知道，世界末日只会发生一次。他们可不会让你重来一遍直到你做对为止。根据女巫 Agnes Nutter 在 1655 年爆炸前写就的、世上唯一完全可靠的未来指南 The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch，世界将在一个星期六终结。事实上，就是下周六。恰在下午茶后……自世界初开以来人们就一直在预测末日，因此在审判日有了新日期时持怀疑态度是很自然的。但这一次，善恶两方的大军似乎真的在集结。四位

小说类，因为太搞笑了：* Terry Pratchett 和 Neil Gaiman 写的《好兆头》[1]。真希望 Pratchett 和 Gaiman 能一起多写几本书。[1] https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060853980?ref_=sr_1_1&pld...
Fiction, because it is so funny: * Good Omens, by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman [1] I wish Pratchett and Gaiman had written more books together. [1] https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060853980?ref_=sr_1_1&pld...
……M25 高速公路现在的鬼样子其实是撒旦作祟的结果。为了查明真相，出动了两位尽职尽责的调查记者：Neil Gaiman 和 Terry Pratchett 爵士。他们的调查报告《好兆头》非常值得一读。他们当年调查一条主要高速公路也才对付了几十年的黑历史。你能想象去查一个微不足道的白垩人像有多难吗，那玩意儿可能……
…the state of the M25 is the result of satanic influences. Two dedicated investigative journalists were required to determine the veracity of this: Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett. Their paper: "Good Omens" is well worth reading. They only had to deal with a few decades of shadowy history for a major motorway. Can you imagine the difficulty of dealing with an inconsequential chalk figure which was probably…
如果你喜欢幽默风格，去读读《好兆头》（Terry Pratchett 和 Neil Gaiman 著）。Gaiman 真是个宝藏作家。
And if you like humour, read Good Omens (by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman). Gaiman's a gem.
……点一下，搞定。直到一两年后他们装了下一个版本，又把上次怎么搞的忘得一干二净，整个折腾过程再重来一遍。补充：书里《好兆头》有个很妙的小设定，恶魔 Crowley 专门搞一些给海量人群制造微小痛苦的工程，而不是像其他老派恶魔那样一次只去勾引一个灵魂。比如自动拨号呼叫器、修成某种形状的高速公路……
…click, finished. Until they install the next version in a year or two and the process happens all over again as they've forgotten how they did it last time. EDIT: There's a great little idea in the book Good Omens where the devil Crowley sets up projects of small amounts of misery to huge amounts of humans, rather than going after one soul at a time like other, old fashioned, demons. Auto-callers, motorways shaped…
啥？真的假的？好吧，首先就是那本搞笑至极的《好兆头：女巫阿涅斯·纳特的准确预言》。跟 Terry Pratchett 合著的，大概三年前还改编成了超棒的广播剧和精彩绝伦的电视剧。其次，还有好多部神作小说……
What? Really? Well, for a start, the hilarious _Good Omens: the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, witch._ Co-written with Terry Pratchett, also a great radio serial and a wonderful TV series from about 3 years ago. Secondly, multiple superb novels,…
