FROM RAPTURE TO RAGNAROK: This is grossly out of date, but I'm curious. Are there two books by the same author (in this case, Neil Gaiman, one co-authored by Terry Pritchett) about roughly the same subject (ordinary people getting mixed up in the deities' end-of-days war) as different as Good Omens and American Gods? I loved the former (a great Douglas Adams impression, which to me is worth as much as the real thing) and really liked the latter, but apart from the subject matter and the overuse of dreams, I would never have guessed that the authors had even met.
