You all would probably love Parke Godwin's books, in sequence, Waiting fo the Galatic Bus & The Snake Oil Wars. Brilliantly funny about two brothers from another planet out carousing with their mates, land on an early earth, get drunk and left behind, set themselves up over a little wager: can the primitive life be uplifted or no. Eventually one becomes known as God and the other Satan; both are really cool. These are absolute gems.

Am reading the latest in Robert Jordan's Wheel of the Time series right now. Anybody else into them?
