Getcher' Rapture here!

[katernater]

I picked up Good Omens after watching Neil Gaiman's "Doctor Who" episode last week, despite having only tepid feelings about his work up to that point. And guys, I have to say, wow. This is one of the best books I've read in quite some time. I'm more than halfway through at this point and probably would have already finished if I hadn't needed to take breaks to go to work, eat, and sleep. I also find the fact that I started reading apocalyptic fiction last Saturday, when the projected Rapture was a week away, more than a little coincidental.

Anyway, I promise a more real life-oriented update soon, complete with my thoughts about the end of my second full term of teaching, and some sad news about the birdies on my windowsill.

In the meantime, here's a fan-created end credits sequence from the as-yet-as-not-real-as-today's-apocalypse Good Omens movie:

I want this to happen so much.

Good Omens is one of my favorite books. I love it because it gets what I enjoy the most about Practhett and Gaiman. Its one of those books I keep lending out to people to explain why I like the two authors.

I'm also rather tepid on Gaiman, I adore Stardust and the worlds he creates but I reread Terry Pratchett far more.

Congratulations, you've discovered the OTP that is Crowley and Aziraphale.

Oh my gosh, it didn't occur to me that you hadn't read Good Omens. SUCH a good book! I hope you enjoy the rest of it! :)

I've not read Good Omens yet. So far my favorites by Gaiman are Anansi Boys and Stardust. Admission: I was raised on Anansi Tales and have a deep an abiding love for them as a result. Hearing them takes me right back to the best parts of my childhood.

God, Good Omens is SO good. It's the kind of book I wish I could write.
