Good Omens Book Club

So I have, in other fandoms, talked about the importance of what an audience can actually see on the screen. Specifically: When a constrained format (like, say, between 45 to 56 minutes of a single visual/audio input) is telling a constrained story (like, say, something that must start, climax, and resolve within some kind of structure), it's useful for the audience to pay attention to what gets given the valuable real estate of camera/story time.

So when time is given and effort made to show the actual titles of actual books... well.

Figure 1. Local bookshelf weighted down by an over-abundance of literary allusions.

This is a screenshot from episode 3 of Good Omens's second season, as Jim is reshelving all the books in Aziraphale's book shop by the first letter of their first sentences. He's about to shelve Jane Austens's Pride and Prejudice ("It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.") and the red sideways book, that he is about to pick up, is Good Omens itself ("It was a nice day.").

But, unusually, we can see the title of almost every other book on the shelf. Several of them appeared in the advertising poster, too, as I outlined previously (if you click that link, be advised that I am very proud of several bits of that essay and also let's not talk about how my go-to for musical references is Middle English folk rather than, say, Buddy Holly). Anyway-- with this in mind, and the understanding that time, effort, and celluloid have been spent on getting this shot to the audience, it would behoove us, I think, to actually look at these books.

Figure 2. A pair of showrunners providing not-so-subtle ancillary notation suggesting the same thing, so really, this is a no-brainer in terms of meta fodder.

Okay, Trifles, so what about the book club

Technically, this isn't my idea. It's Neil's and Douglas's, so jot that down.

What I figure is, I can provide a list of the books shown, their first lines, and a VERY brief summary of each. Those are below. And as I rewatch the show, I may reblog this post with additions, but also...

I've read some of these, but not all of them, and not recently -- with at least one of them, though, I remember enough to know that the first line and summary do nothing to showcase the heartrending possibilities the book may be alluding to for the overall Good Omens narrative.

And further-- as I collected these summaries and first lines, I started noticing some compelling commonalities. Which I, for one, would like to confirm and dig into more deeply.

So while I'm going to start reading these, it might be a Nice Idea for other folks to do so as well. The more write-ups we can get, the greater the concordance of Interesting Insights might be available. (And if you tag me in your write up, or otherwise draw my attention, I will gladly link your essay up here for the edification of others omfg.)

ANYWAY

The "Jim Shelving" Book List

From right to left (which feels odd, but it's the actual alphabetical-by-letter arrangement), and summaries from various internet sources:

Herzog, by Saul Bellows

"If I am out of my mind, it's all right with me, thought Moses Herzog."

"Herzog is a 1964 novel by Saul Bellow, composed in part of letters from the protagonist [...] The novel follows five days in the life of Moses E. Herzog who, at the age of forty-seven, is having a midlife crisis following his second divorce."

A Series of Unfortunate Events, (series) by Lemony Snicket

"If you are interested in happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book."

The first book in the series, The Bad Beginning, "tells the story of three children, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, who become orphans following a fire and are sent to live with Count Olaf, who attempts to steal their inheritance."

The Catcher in the Rye, by J. D. Salinger

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."

"The novel details two days in the life of 16-year-old Holden Caulfield after he has been expelled from prep school. [...] From what is implied to be a sanatorium, Holden, the narrator and protagonist, tells the story of his adventures before the previous Christmas."

The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since."

"Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan."

The Bible, (anthology) by God et al.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

"25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying 'Where is the flaming sword that was given unto thee?'

26 And the Angel said, 'I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.'

27 And the Lord did not ask him again."

The Big Sleep, by Raymond Chandler

"It was about eleven o’clock in the morning, mid October, with the sun not shining and a look of hard wet rain in the clearness of the foothills."

"Private investigator Philip Marlowe is hired by wealthy General Sternwood to stop a blackmailer. Marlowe suspects that the old General is merely testing his caliber before trusting him with a bigger job, one involving Sternwood's two amoral daughters."

Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."

"In George Orwell's iconic and prophetic masterpiece, 1984, a haunting vision of a dystopian future unfolds. Set in a world dominated by the all-seeing eye of Big Brother, the story follows Winston Smith, a lowly Party member whose very thoughts are scrutinized. As the Party manipulates history and suppresses truth, Winston's yearning for individuality and connection pushes him into a daring dance on the edge of rebellion."

[A title I cannot, unfortunately, read-- if anyone who HAPPENS to be familiar with the show and HAPPENS to perhaps also be on tumblr just HAPPENS to say what this book might be, that would be Very Much Appreciated]

"????"

[WOW I WISH I WAS A SUMMARY OH WELL]

Catch-22, by Joseph Heller

"It was love at first sight."

"Set in the closing months of World War II in an American bomber squadron off the coast of Italy, Catch-22 is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never even met keep trying to kill him. Joseph Heller's bestselling novel is a hilarious and tragic satire on military madness, and the tale of one man's efforts to survive it."

Love in the Time of Cholera, by Gabriel García Márquez

"It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love."

"The story, which treats the themes of love, aging, and death, takes place between the late 1870s and the early 1930s in a South American community troubled by wars and outbreaks of cholera. It is a tale of two lovers, artistic Florentino Ariza and wealthy Fermina Daza, who reunite after a lifetime apart."

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon

"It was seven minutes after midnight."

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a 2003 mystery novel by British writer Mark Haddon. [...] The novel is narrated in the first-person perspective by Christopher John Francis Boone, a 15-year-old boy who is described as "a mathematician with some behavioural difficulties" living in Swindon, Wiltshire. [...] Christopher sets out to solve the murder [of a neighbor's dog] in the style of his favourite (logical) detective, Sherlock Holmes."

The Crow Road, by Iain Banks

"It was the day my grandmother exploded."

A Scottish family drama about a perfect murder against the backdrop of the 1990s Gulf War. "This Bildungsroman is set in the fictional Argyll town of Gallanach, the real village of Lochgair, and in Glasgow, where the adult Prentice McHoan lives. Prentice's uncle Rory disappeared eight years previously while writing a book called The Crow Road. Prentice becomes obsessed with papers his uncle left behind and sets out to solve the mystery. Along the way he must cope with estrangement from his father, unrequited love, sibling rivalry, and failure at his studies."

No Woman No Cry: My Life with Bob Marley, by Rita Marley with Hettie James

"I was an ambitious girl child."

"Fans of reggae legend Bob Marley will welcome this no-nonsense biography from his wife, Rita, who was also his band member, business partner, musical collaborator and the only person to have witnessed firsthand his development from local Jamaican singer to international superstar."

I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith

"I write this sitting in the kitchen sink."

"I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love."

...and because I happen to know and love this book, I'm aware of the devastating last lines...

"Only the margin left to write on now. I love you, I love you, I love you."

Klaus was behind the bar, the vampire giving me a professional nod and pouring me a rye and coke as I walked over and sat down.

“Here for business?” he asked.

“Just general interest and rumours tonight.” I slid a gold coin across the bar. It vanished into his palm. “Anything interesting of late?”

“Two vampires apparently staked themselves a few days ago: one over grey in his hair, the other because his renfield left him and he was involved in lawsuits over past identities, leaving his home to himself and the like for six generations: someone sicced the government on him for tax reasons.” I winced.

“Yeah. Francoise was a jerk and a half, but no one deserves that. A couple of waer broke into a PETA place and spraypainted ‘WAER RIGHTS’ on walls and pamphlets, only it turned out to be two human kids trying to stir up drama and ‘get those monsters poached’. Rumours that there is a magician’s artifact called the Maltese Falcon are going around, and that one monkey can fly again. Also of a troll/monkey crossbreed who will ‘usher in the age of Kong’.” “The age of Kong.”

“They’re not saying king, so it’s almost progressive.” The vampire smiled sourly.

Middle Mellark brother head canons?

Secret confession is I don’t care about middle mellark in canon at all because there’s truly nothing to go on, but I am fuckin obsessed with him in JLH so I’m gonna answer about him lmfao. I almost wrote an entire spinoff fic about Rye and Klaus back in like 2016 and then obviously didn’t. So here’s. What I had in mind for that. 

He looks like this 

He was randomly assigned a roommate in college, Klaus Armand, who looks like this 

of course “college roommates” looks a lot different in the Capitol than what we would be used to, so what this really meant was they had what anyone else would consider to be a pretty spacious two bedroom apartment that they split on the college campus

So they had plenty of space away from each other, but Rye spent like every waking moment in the kitchen/living room so that he could catch Klaus on his way in or out and be like “Hey dude!” and Klaus would be like “Hey!” and that was mostly it at first

Rye pined after Klaus for what felt like forever but was like, a semester and a half. 

Klaus totally knew that Rye had a thing for him but he had just gotten into the Capitol college on scholarship and he didn’t want to waste time focusing on anything other than his schoolwork, but Rye had him perfectly matched in terms of sarcastic humor, which Klaus didn’t feel like his classmates really understood. 

Klaus also took to walking from the bathroom to the kitchen in just his towel when he knew Rye was hanging around (which was. Often.) just because of how Rattled he always was when he would do that. 

Klaus brought home a dude he was in class with, and Rye assumed that they were dating and was like, “Okay, at least I know he’s gay,” and was a little devastated at the idea of having to like, hang around while Klaus was obviously Hanging Out with Some Other Guy and when the dude left, Rye was super obviously jealous

Which Klaus found incredibly endearing

And when Rye rolled his eyes and said, “Yeah, whatever, we never said you couldn’t bring people home” Klaus was like, 

“And what, you don’t bring people home out of respect for me?” 

and Rye was so angry but also like. Totally caught. 

He hadn’t been dating anyone since he moved in with Klaus. So Rye sputtered and was like, “So maybe I do. Whatever.” 

And Klaus said, “Maybe you don’t.” 

and then pushed him against the wall and kissed him. 

Klaus is taller than Rye and way more solid/broad. And grew up doing manual labor where Rye is wiry and skinny and lanky. 

And Rye’s type before had always been, like, somewhat visually similar people. Usually pretty androgynous. Peeta says in the funeral chapter that Rye has dated “men and women and people who identified somewhere in between.” 

but god, he’s never dated anyone like Klaus before.  

The first time they have sex, Rye buries his face in the mattress and says, 

“I love you.” 

and then he says, 

“Fuck. Sorry. I don’t mean that.” 

Klaus teases him about it forever. 

During their wedding, right after Klaus’s heartfelt and beautiful wedding vows, he slides the ring onto Rye’s finger and says, 

“Fuck. Sorry. I don’t mean that.” 

And Rye just kind of swats at him with his left hand, ring barely even on. It’s all so quiet that even later when people watch the video of the ceremony, they don’t see what happened. 

They’re together for about three and a half years before they start the process of adopting Cordelia

Klaus has always known he wanted children. 

He was the oldest of seven and helped his mother with all the raising, because his father had to work so much. 

Rye was harder to convince. On account of the whole Shitty Childhood of it all. 

But then they went home to visit Klaus’s family and Rye watched the way his husband was with all his nieces and nephews, and he just. Laced their fingers together on the train home and said, “Okay. Yeah.” 

Cordelia’s biological mother was a scared, poor teenage girl named Beatrice

She put the baby up for adoption before she was even born, and some wealthy Capitolite couple said they wanted her right away. They paid all of her medical expenses during the pregnancy.

And then never came to pick up the baby. 

Beatrice couldn’t raise a child on her own. She had never agreed to that, either. The pregnancy was challenging enough, and her parents were insistent that she finish high school. 

The Capitolite couple also never signed the forms releasing Cordelia to be adopted by anyone else.

She was in the Community Home/Orphanage until she was about three. 

Klaus knew Beatrice. Only incidentally. She would be the friend of one of his nieces. On their next visit to Four, to visit the Community Home, he heard the story from Beatrice’s friend. 

Because Rye wanted a baby from Four. A baby who would look like his husband. 

And it’s so much harder to find a home for an older child than for a newborn. 

And the Mellarks had so much money.

Enough to pay off the Capitolite couple who hadn’t even really remembered the commitment they made to this beautiful baby girl 

Who really did look like Klaus

and who caught both the Armand-Mellark’s hearts in both her tiny hands. 

Cordelia trusted Klaus immediately.

He looked like home, and he spoke in her first language, and he had so much more experience with children.

As opposed to Rye. who was. Stiff and awkward and did not remember much about what Peeta was like at that age. 

Peeta, who had such a different childhood.

who never knew what it felt like to be hungry

who was unwanted, but not the same way Cordelia was

Rye was stiff around Cordelia. Afraid of fucking up. Afraid of being like his parents. Either. Both. 

And so afraid, because of how often she would just take off. 

One time he called the peacekeepers in a panic and had half the neighborhood outside looking for her.

She was asleep under his bed. 

It wasn’t ever that he didn’t love her. He always loved her so much that it terrified him. But the Mellarks don’t know how to express that, generally. 

So he mostly just fussed over whether or not she was safe. 

Which drove Klaus up a fucking wall. He always told him to be the fun parent. 

Cordelia calls Klaus Père months before she ever calls Rye Pa 

and, god 

Rye has been mostly kidding for months about his kid not liking him. 

But the relief he feels in that moment 

when he’s picking her up from kindergarten and she turns to whoever her new friend is and says, “I gotta go. That’s my Pa.” 

he just

bursts into tears. 

And brings her out for ice cream on the way home even though Klaus already has dinner almost finished. 

And she plasters herself against Klaus’s side and offers him a bite of her ice cream and says, “we got ice cream,” and Klaus is all 

“God you had to be the fun parent the night we’re gonna have to fight to get her to eat dinner, huh?” 

and Rye is just like. 

“The fun Pa.” 

and then he’s crying again. 

And Cordelia absolutely does not understand why. But she’s excited about her ice cream.

I was gonna color this but I no no wanna :,(

Klaus (the little German kid) is @lord-of-the-bundle-of-sticks oc ^_^

He’s snot nosed…. Ew… Let me hug him!

Also the German is poorly translated (I didn’t use google translate but I used another translate app)

Also fun fact Klaus is…fatherless! His dad died in a war…so…bottom right panel kinda hurt…he was so worried he was gonna lose someone else 😭💔

Klaus (2019) dir. Sergio Pablos. 7.7/10

I would recommend this movie to my friends. I would rewatch this movie.

Great origin story and concept.

Omg. J.K. Simmons, Joan Cusack, and Rashida Jones.

Wow, I wish we all kept intact all the history that made up me.

It's interesting because what's the definition of being good? Morality is pretty subjective.

Idk how to feel about the Sámi people being like the elves. It's like they have to be considered so foreign? But, I did read that the director wanted to focus on kindness being contagious, so I can really understand that.

How did we even know this man's name was Klaus?

Margu made me tear up. I love her a lot.

The Machiavellian

July 1918

She ran down the hill, the sharp intake breath piercing her lungs making it difficult to breath. Her skin was slick with sweat, making her white dress cling to her body. Her corset dug into her ribs causing movement to be difficult. The setting sun beating down on her as she pushed forward did not help her for she was not used to such exercise but she did not let that stop her. She couldn’t. She just had to keep running. Her life depended upon it.

Of Temptations and Pomegranate Seeds

The first time he saw her, she was standing among flowers in shades of pastel pinks and rose gold. Her pure white wings fluttered behind her, her long blond hair hanging around her shoulders. She knelt upon the ground, dirt covering her faded blue dress and her hands holding a flower in the palm of her hand. A tree was arched above her, forever moving in unison with her, blocking the warm sun from blemishing her perfect skin.

A Portrait of a Broken Marriage

Klaus maneuvered his way through the crowd, the scent of creole lingering in the air as he sipped on his morning coffee. The early sun beat down upon him and a cool breeze had him pulling his light coat tighter around him. The aftermath of Mardi Gras was always something that made Klaus shake his head. Memories consumed him of his own youth, recklessness that had him questioning his sanity when he was young.

Three Hundred Miles of Good Road

The English Gazette

March 15, 1813

My dear readers,

Another season is upon us and as London is flooded with the elite and highest of the Ton, I am once again pondering the questions of what exactly makes up society? What is it and who e xactly decides what is or is not appropriate? I personally find that the highest of society are nothing more than sycophants dressed in pompous clothing and fill the dark void of their lives with vices and temptations that they scorn the lower class for.

O'Holy Night

Christmas Eve, 2010

The bells chimed, a haunting echo that pierced through the cold air. A low breath was let out, hanging before her in a white mist. The lifeless-gray headstone appeared in a soft blanket of snow, the ground having frozen over the empty casket. It was strange to think that a year ago, she had been nothing more than a girl, with dreams of a future and it was strange to reflect on that part of her life. A life before a pillow covered her face, taking away any breath she had, the face of her best friend staring down at her. The last strand of innocence died a slow death that day.

Echoes of Sorrow

Rye, East Sussex, England

The heels clicked against the hardwood floor of her tudor style cottage. A few people milled about her home, checking the schedules and ensuring her make-up was perfect. She had sent her fiance and daughter away from the house to ensure that her young three year old did not find her way into trouble during the interview. She pushed her long curls behind her ear, turning to look at her reflection in the glass window, barely seeing the soft snow that was falling in the cold March weather. It was a soft white blanket that laid upon the ground, echoing a peacefulness that she had struggled to find in her life.

The Long Road Home

Caroline Elizabeth Mikaelson

I Intend to be your Last

October 10, 1924 - February 19, 2016

Just Another Fairytale

Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Orleans was reaching a new age and it’s security hung in the balance. The kingdom stood between the Northern Mountains of Rousseau and the Southern Mystic Sea. To the West was the bayou, a swampy grassland that typically held the poorest of the kingdom while in the East held the rich and thick forest of Abattoir. A village was located not far from the forest and it profited well due to a long dirt road that led to the royal castle. The foot traffic alone was enough to make the local tavern stay afloat.

Last Love

“Does it ever make you think that every time he texts you, you feel your heart sink?” Klaus asked her, sipping on his bourbon at the Mystic Grill. Caroline narrowed her eyes at him in annoyance. His smirk placed on his lips and Caroline wanted nothing more than to smack it off his face. However, she knew better than to take on the Original Hybrid; he would wipe the floor with her.

Death in its Purest Form

The lights flickered overhead, the fluorescent hugh gazing overhead as Caroline breathed in the sterile smell of the room. Staring at the white false brick of the wall, unable to gaze at anything else. The high pitched ringing that sounded in her ears blurred out everything else around her. There was a voice, mingled in the sound; something distant and far away. Eyes looked at her, expecting an answer but she had nothing to say. No words could form from her lips as she felt her throat dry up and tighten.
