Good Omens was definitely a treat! (Incidentally, if you don't think that you'll be able to scam a copy off a friend soon enough, amazon.com used has it for 3.99, and half.com has copies for 3.49 ... all +S/H, of course, but you'll have one for yourself then ...)
One book that I thought was delightful, and no longer have for the same reasons is Snow in August by Pete Hamill.
Absolutely magical book, with descriptions and characters that create awesome sensory images of the places and times decribed. (I gave the book to a friend who was only slightly older than the child described in the book during the same time period, and was resident in that part of NY and he said that the author had totally nailed the places and feelings of the time)
