The only Valentine's Day I celebrate is the massacre.

And that JM, is the only worthwhile event to celebrate on Valentine's Day. Especially since it's thugs wiping out thugs, and in such a spectacular fashion. :D

Has anyone read Jasper Fforde and his "Tuesday Next" books. If you like Pratchett and Adams you should enjoy these. The man is a literary minefield and very clever. Funny, too.
I adore Terry Pratchett. He is one of very few authors who make me laugh out loud while reading. Generally when I have a new Pratchett book, my family thinks I've lost my mind as I am chuckling, giggling and guffawing as I read. "Interesting Times" is probably my favorite. "Death to our oppressors when convenient!" I need to reread that. I also love his collaboration with Neil Gaiman, "Good Omens". It's like Monty Python doing the Apocalypse.
This isn't SF, but anyone who enjoys a good laugh should read "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. You should definitely read it if you've ever been to New Orleans, ever want to come to New Orleans, or are interested in our more colorful resident-types. I think I've read that book at least 6 or 7 times over the years and it still cracks me up every time.
veilchen:
Since I'm definitely interested in New Orleans (I wonder how come...do you wonder how come too, Reg?) I will get that book. Besides, I like your sense of humor, so I'm pretty sure the book holds what you promise.
My, I've got a lot of books to get tomorrow, I'm going to enjoy this weekend very much.

Speaking of cyberpunk, whatever happened to William Gibson, loved his books, haven't seen any for yonks for some reason.
