I was beating myself up over a mistake at work today, but then I remembered my country’s army lost 240 anti-tank mines that were found at Ikea. Now I feel way better.

Good Omens Book Club

POSSIBLE GOOD OMENS SPOILERS

You have been warned, please don’t spoil yourself. This refers to books referenced in S2 of Good Omens, but I am not relating them to events or plot.

EDIT: @ineffable-romantics​��� gave some really excellent suggestions. Having rewatched and looked up their starting sentences, I think these are right. I suppose only Neil Gaiman or Douglas Mackinnon could confirm 100%. More below.

In episode 2 we get a shot of a book shelf. I have compiled the titles, though two are illegible. For one you can make out the publisher mark, the other is too far back in the shadows. I have listed them in order on the shelf, plus the books that Gabriel picked up.

-

The Books:

I Capture the Castle - Dodie Smith

No Woman No Cry - Rita Marley

A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens (Mystery book, in the shadows)

The Crow Road - Iain Banks

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

Catch-22 - Joseph Heller

Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Gracia Marquez

The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath (Mystery book, publisher mark visible but I can't make it out)

Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell

The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler

The Bible

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger

A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket

Herzog - Saul Bellow

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

-

Here’s the opening line for The Bell Jar:

‘It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn’t know what I was doing in New York.”

And for A Tale of Two Cities:

‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...”

Gabriel reads this aloud in the bookshop (07:14), and shelves it near the Crow Road! Mystery solved? Perhaps. (Wait and see?)

“X-Ray Trivia” from Amazon Prime states “The Good Omens Book Club - Co-showrunners Neil Gaiman and Douglas Mackinnon would love for everyone to read these books. Douglas Mackinnon put these books in alphabetical order, starting with their first sentence.

All the books ‘Jim’ has reshelved so far by alphabetical order of ... the first line in each. Each book’s first line begins with ‘I’.

Gabriel shelving a book near Iain Banks’ ‘The Crow Road.’

Tom and Sabine met when she went to France for a year on a student exchange and they fell in love but Sabine had to go back to China so Tom, in a grand romantic gesture, got on a plane for the first time in his life and unfortunately discovered his aerophobia when the flight crew had to make him swallow an elephant’s fose of tranquilizer to avoid having to land the plane early on account of him absolutely freaking the fuck out. He made it to Sabine’s family home in the end but swore never to ride on a plane again.
