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.

[Which only confuses Luke in turn.] Don't you know what they are? I thought you were a librarian.

Of course I know what books are. I just don't understand how books are some sort of evil alien technology.

And I'm not really a librarian. I'm a bookshop owner.

I know. You said- [And here he starts reciting in Aziraphale's exact tone and inflection] 'back home I own a book shop and here I manage the library'. But I didn't say evil. I said dangerous. It's not the same. [Obviously, the most important clarification to make.]

Well then please tell me how they would be dangerous.

Closets. The closets are dangerous. Getting books from the closet is dangerous, because you don't know what it is you're really getting. Might not be a book at all, might just look like a book.

So far it has given me the books I requested, though perhaps not the editions I'd prefer...
