Anyone a fan of Good Omens?
I first came across the book in 2017, bought it and was immediately hooked by the story.
Years passed, and when they announced the casts for the series, I was skeptical (I'm not a big movie/TV person) as I knew nothing about Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
Decided to give it a try, and boy, it's so good. Everyone is so perfectly casted.

I have not read it, but i shall!
Gaiman's novel "Neverwhere" is also super super good. A very average man enters a different world, faces challenges, seduction and love. The writing was superb, a perfect balance of humour and plot and action. One of the 'classes' of people in Neverwhere is the Velvet. The protagonist referred to her as a velcro. That was unexpectedly funny.
And what a bittersweet ending. I'm a sucker for this kind of endings. Stephen King also does these kinds of 'breakup' endings sometimes.
Side note, the movie Stardust was also really good. Also an "a very average man enters a different world, faces challenges, seduction and love." kind of story, but it's the details that make a movie/story.
Try Gaiman's American Gods. It has a pretty slow buildup, but once you're in, you're in. I'll see if I can find the book Neverwhere. Stardust is a fun movie.
Oh yeah American Gods was pretty good too. I loved the little side storied about other gods. There was one who was a prostitute that ate a man, a jin that body swapped with a struggling businessman, and also something about an ancient god from the prehistoric age.
Stardust is a fun movie.
