Ah, I knew the name was familiar, I hadn't clocked the Pratchett connection though. I've just ordered a copy of American Gods, sounds interesting!

Enjoy! He is probably more well known for his graphic novels Sandman etc, but that has never been my thing.

The most famous, and possibly my favourite is Neverwhere. Set in london too.
I love the Sam Vimes books, they get better as his character becomes more rounded. They are like a nostalgic safety blanket for me. I do think they suffered a bit as Pratchetts alzheimer's progressed.

American Gods is a bit like Pratchett's Small Gods, but at Hollywood scale. It's very good.
Currently reading Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga. Goodreads informs me I've managed a book a week since the start of the year which should smash a nice big chunk through my to-read pile, thank god. I feel a lot less guilty about having two bookshelves filled with unread books as a result.

Yes, I have dipped in and out of Discworld, so thought I would have a go at them in order.
I like Gaiman stuff, it is all over the place, if you like Pratchett then there is of course Good Omens that they wrote together which is excellent. My favourite of his is Neverwhere , although the American Gods books are more in depth and interesting. Also his kids books (Coraline, Ocean at the end of the lane, Graveyard book) are great!
