Him

You know you're going to have fun with a new book when you find a Beautifully Put on the first page (ok, after the prologue, but you get the idea). Here are two of my favourite authors talking about Him upstairs...

"God moves in extremely mysterious, not to say circuitous, ways. God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players*, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules and who smiles all the time."

*ie., everybody 


Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens
