I had never heard of them, but it seems that there is a lot of books written by them. I guess that it is not the genre I normally read, but it isn't like I never have read horror type books (was a big Stephen King fan in my youth). They also seem to be pretty silly guys from what is on their website.

I am willing to give it a try but I could never read all of one type of book in a row without getting bored, even when the books are good. So, tell me, which one should I start with? Are they a series, where the same characters show up and you are a little lost if you haven't read the older books?
