For my text I choose "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Originally published in 1990.
Basically the story is a satire of the apocolpsye and the coming of the anti-christ. Everything is all set for the world to end and for heaven and hell to go to war with each other but unfortunatly the satanists charged with placing the anti-christ in a home accidently give him to a rather nice English couple instead of an American diplomat. So he doesnt grow up to be the greedy and malevolent child they wanted him to be and instead becomes a rather normal kid. The book itself is set very much in the same tone as hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and involves a multitude of hilarious and unlikely characters.
