I've never heard of Christopher Moore, but Zombie Santa sounds excellent.
Big fan of Bill Bryson here. Sadly, I've read everything he's written so far. :( Pratchett I am lukewarm on. Sometimes I like what I read, sometimes I don't. But I own ten Discworld books, so surely that says something.
I cannot stand the movie version of TPB. Is the book substantially different? I might give a go if it is.
I basically bypassed the entire young adult genre when I was a preteen and went straight to general fiction. (I think my library at the time was actively trying to keep teens out, so they didn't have much in that way--mostly Christopher Pike and Sweet Valley High, ugh.) I did run into Wrede later, though, which was good, as I like her stuff. What's good by Wynne Jones? I haven't been able to get into anything I've tried to read by her. I've never heard of Velde.
Tamora Pierce has so much out there that I wouldn't know where to begin. Suggestions?
