"I'd disagree about Good Omens being space themed... but I'd have slotted Ender's Game in there instead. Or maybe Phule's Paradise."

pussreboots:
"I'm only talking about the cover art, not what the books are about. I counted Good Omens because of the cartoon earths on the cover. I did't add Ender's Game or Phule's Paradise because I haven't reviewed either them."

"The Commander Toads are a lot of fun. If you're looking for humorous, try Good Omens; it isn't a space story."

Library Lady says:
"I'd add "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlein or perhaps better still, his "The Rolling Stones".

And in the kids books I'd go for "Zoom, Zoom, I'm Off to the Moon" by Dan Yaccarino. Happy TT!"

I can still recite the entire text of Goodnight Moon from memory... after reading aloud through three kids, it's permanently embedded in my brain. :)"

I just re-read Good Omens last month! I can't wait to go read your review of it. Every time I read it, I get more punchlines I hadn't seen before :)

And I love having the theme be in just the cover art. Nice touch! "
