false 12067 39 According to <i>The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter</i>, <i>Witch</i> (the world's only <i>completely</i> accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist... 4110990 book 1990 Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch total:22678|5:11087|4:7550|3:3213|2:651|1:177| 22678 96753 28798 2360 4 39 false false Wed Jun 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 21:26:45 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 09:13:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 11 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 14 08:33:32 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 07 10:26:11 -0700 2007

When I first started reading this book, it reminded me incredibly of Hitchhiker's Guide, as far as its sensibility and humor.
