2000	Title:   The Deity Dozen							Author/Editor: by Andrew Harman
1.
Titel of Original Release: The Deity Dozen							Country of Original Release: UK			Year of Original Release: 1996
This is hell - but not as we know it. Or could we? Should we? Seirizzim, the newly ‘elected’ Undertaker-in-Chief of Mortropolis, the Underworld City, believed in "One Demon, One Vote" ... as long as that demon was him. He had already introduced a new word into the infernal vocabulary; a word that spread terror whenever it was mentioned. That word was "efficiency”, and its effects were being felt everywhere. Immigration was being automated, insect-like mhodemms littered the skies, carrying messages, even the ferrymen who plied their trade across the oozing Phlegethon were like to be replaced by a tunnel. The under-demons Flagit and Nabob couldn’t do anything to stop Seirizzim’s efficiency drive. Nor could anybody else. Or could they? The Reverend Vex Screed was a preacher for hire, and Mortropolis represented the biggest challenge of his life - bringing the message to a whole city of demons. But the minor deity whose cunning plan he represented couldn’t have foreseen the hilarious consequences of his actions ... Yes, this is the second book of hell. The story continues (the one that began with Fahrenheit 666). We liked it - we can't denie it. We can't resist - we looooove Andrew Harman's books. If you like written first class british comedy, you should try one of Harman's books.

2000	Title: Good Omens							Author/Editor: by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
2.
Titel of Original Release: Good Omens							Country of Original Release: UK			Year of Original Release: 1997
Admitted, this is another release from 1997, but I could not resist to feature it again - because it is soooooooooo great. We hear the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. Unfortunately, Sister Mary Loquacious of the Chattering Order has misplaced the Antichrist. The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse ride motorcycles. And the representatives from Heaven and Hell have decided they actually like the human race . . . If you do ask humble me: you have to read this book or you will regret it forever. But who am I that anyone does ask me?
