Book Title: Good Omens

Author: Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Selection Statement:

This book is a hilarious critique of many social institutions and a cry for peace. It also shows that collaboration can produce greatness even among those who are great on their own. And it reminds us that it is the people working “on the ground,” not the bureaucrats and administrators, who accomplish real progress—sometimes despite, not because of, the demands from (literally) above.
