I've read a few of his novels and thought they were damn good. I don't meet many people who feel the same, though.

I read Bloodsucking Fiends.
I liked it but I did not love it. I can't think of any glaring faults that bothered me but I felt like I was just going through the motions reading the second half of it. It had no energy left to try any of his other books.

Yah Blood Sucking Fiends and You Suck: A Love Story were alright, but I kind of felt the same.
You might get A Dirty Job a chance. Of the ones I've read, I thought it was the best of his that I've read. Although, I've heard Lamb and Fool are supposed to be good too. I haven't gotten around to them yet.

I have been following him for years, and have read every one of his releases. He's one of my favorites for humor and wit. I often find myself laughing out loud while reading one of his stories.
His books are nice, quick reads. My favorite is Lamb, followed by Bloodsucking Fiends and A Dirty Job. Fluke, Island of the Sequined Love Nun...far out there, but still funny.
If you like Chris Moore, try Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies. Isaac is a fairly new author, but he's very promising. Warm Bodies has the humor, along with a little romance and even some gore. I'm following him closely now for his next release.

I've read all his books.
I enjoy them quite a bit. Just read "lust lizard of melancholy cove" the other day. It wasn't amazing but it was a fun and relaxing read.
Pratchett is god btw.

They're weird, deal with it. Does not lower the awesome factor. Still weird though. And I like Robert Asprin's Myth series better than Discworld series, but Good Omens with Gaiman and Pratchet is the king of that particular comedic style.

I'm currently trying to get hold of them all in hardcover. It's a bit of work :P
I've gotten hold of "Once more with footnotes" though, so I think I'll be able to manage it :>

Actually, the main reason I started buying hardcovers, is that it's the best way to support authors you like

I can not stand reading hardscovers, but I sure do love collecting them in first edition form.
I really need to try out this e-book fad.

I actually prefer reading hardcovers because I don't have to be as gentle with them.
You aren't going to bend the spine or warp the cover.

Most of my books are softcover.
I have most of Brandon Sanderson's books, as well as those TP ones in hardcover, plus a few random ones.
I usually prefer HC to softcover as well, but I buy way to many books to support that habit.
That being said though, authors have better payout per hardcover copy sold then any other format, so I try to buy hardcovers when I can.

I'm afraid that I tend to wear books out. Coffee stains, bent pages, bent spines, sometimes even ripped covers. When I really get in to a book, though, I don't put it down until it's finished. Usually that involves me taking it everywhere I go and reading it during any small amount of free time available.

the new kindle isn't bad. unless they've just introduced a kindle 4 or something. the 3s are nice. the keyboard is still stupid but whatever. i'm not trading in my v1 nook though. i couldn't figure out how to change font sizes on the version 2 and the only lady around that worked there was busy talking to a grandma about settings.

The Kindle 3 is nice because they ripped off all the ideas that made Nook and Daily Edition clearly superior. Kindle 3 is basically an amalgamation of good ideas ruined by that idiot keypad.
The old people book reader from Google not only has buttons but it has ridiculous ugly buttons.

what kills me is that it's google books enabled. ok so is my nook. google books are like.. literally just scanned pages of books that were saved as pictures. it's nearly impossible to read 90% of them.

I've never read on an e-reader or even done too terribly much work with electronic books in general, but what I do not google's books for are their abstracts and research periodicals. It's actually a great resource for research.
