This tortured kid got up during reading time in the library in my primary school and would recite William Blake. His father made him memorise it, like instill the bitch with the fear of the tiger. Not my image of nurture but to each his own, last time I saw him was at an open house for a Christian school.
I've read alot of Terry Pratchett, "Pyramids" is an excellent book, he deals with gnostics constantly, look no further than "Small Gods". He is hilarious, if I had read Douglas Adams, but realised he was Terry Pratchett, I would say, "Terry Pratchett, like Douglas Adams, pleases". But he's not, so I won't say it.
