If you loved the witty banter and satirical tone of Soul Music, you'll have a blast with Good Omens. The delightfully absurd partnership between the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley mirrors the kind of sharp, offbeat humor you enjoyed with characters like Death and the wizards. Every page is packed with clever wordplay and a gleeful subversion of genre tropes.

If you enjoyed the colorful cast in Soul Music—from Susan Sto Helit to the wizards of Unseen University—you’ll love Thursday Next’s adventures in The Eyre Affair. The book features a vibrant ensemble of literary detectives, book jumpers, and villainous masterminds, all thrown together in a world where literature itself is under threat.

If you relished the way Soul Music balanced whimsical, lighthearted magic with moments of darkness—think the Music with Rocks In’s supernatural influence or Death’s existential struggles—then Neverwhere is a perfect fit. Gaiman crafts an underworld beneath London full of eccentric magic, danger, and offbeat humor, where ordinary people get swept up in the extraordinary.

If you were delighted by the way Soul Music constantly surprised you—whether it was the literal personification of Death taking a holiday or a magical guitar rewriting the rules of the Discworld—you’ll love the chaotic, twisty ride of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Adams’ story veers delightfully off course at every opportunity, keeping you guessing (and laughing) from start to finish.

If you appreciated the deeper questions woven into Soul Music—like what it means to be human, or the nature of belief and destiny—you’ll find Small Gods just as rewarding. Through the journey of the novice Brutha and the god Om, Pratchett explores faith, free will, and the power of ideas, all with his trademark wit and compassion.
