9th Book || Nothing Like Being Lost in a Book

[The video feed cuts on to show Aziraphale in his room. He is seated in an old, tartan wing back chair with the cheerful morning sunlight streaming in from a window. He smiles cheerfully.]

So, I hear we have a book club. This seems like something I would very much like to get involved in as back home I own a book shop and here I manage the library as best I can. If someone has any information on this book club, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

For the time being, just to get people started, I thought once a month? After that we can whittle it down by a week or two.

[At least until she can determine the reading speeds of everyone involved.]

That sounds lovely. Do you have any plans for a beginning reading list?

[nascensibility]

We've a few different genres: science fiction with Asimov, Wells, Lovecraft and Shelley- [She is having them read Shelley whether Dr. Whale likes it or not.] -I thought we might as well read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass just for those who aren't familiar or want to know more, and erm...let's see...

[She gets out the little list she took down.]

Ah! Yes, To Kill a Mockingbird, Great Expectations, All Quiet on the Western Front, Paradise Lost...we've quite the starting point. Someone also mentioned The Great Gatsby, but I'm not entirely sure if I...can sit through that one again.

[Urgh. Fitzgerald.]

Perhaps we could read some Wilde instead?

[She sighs in relief and throws her hands up.]

A voice of reason! Bless you, I'd love to indulge in some of Wilde's works again. I thought a little Robert Louis Stevenson might be interesting as well - adventures, and all that.

[manicuredangel]

Oh yes, that would be lovely. [He grinned.]

If you do think of any others, please let me know - I want a fairly long list before people start voting on what they want to look into reading first.

[If...that is amenable to him, of course.]

[video]

[manicuredangel]

Oh, certainly, certainly. I'll likely have a list of my own to give you in no time.

[video]

[nascensibility]

Marvelous! I look forward to reading it!

[video]

[manicuredangel]

It might end up a bit long, I'm afraid.

[video]

[nascensibility]

Well, it isn't as though we've a dearth of time on our hands.

[Understatement of the century.]

[manicuredangel]

Ah, yes. This is very true. I will take my time with it, then.
