You're a Pratchett Diciple, just like me. I'm always pleased when I convert someone.
What are you reading of Neil's? He and Terry approach philosophy the same way, I think, but Neil is much darker. If you get your hands on any of the Sandman 'graphic novels' I highly recommend them, even if they are 'comics'.
By the by, have you read anything by Shel Silverstein? I totally love Shel Silverstein. Where the Sidewalk Ends is one of my favorite books of poetry ever. When I went to camp between 7th and 8th grade, we had a talent show, and I recited one of his poems (True Story) as my 'act' and I got 1st prize. Which I never collected because I got really sick and had to be sent home. Sigh. The prize was a McDonald's meal. Because there was this commercial that year where a bunch of kids at camp are trying to cheer up one kid who is homesick, and they all talk about what they miss, and one kid says "You know what I miss? McDonald french fries" and they all get sad, and it was this running joke. Sorry. Way too much information...
