The New S2 Poster Details

Terry's hat and scarf ❤ With an ook pin! ❤

Crowley's old glasses on the statue. The statue itself is the Marly Horses by Guillaume Coustou the Elder.

Aziraphale's bow tie on the floor 👀

The cardboard box - long ago Neil shared on his instagram: Game on! There are mysteries, histories, secrets revealed and Something Too Terrible To Be Revealed on the way. Also a cardboard box.

Three feathers. One white, one blac and one white with a bluish/grey tinge (if it's not a shaddow)?

The angel mug is back 🥰

'The Resurrectionist' matches with skull and crossbones. In the previous poster there was a The Resurrectionist leaflet.

Again the Eccles cakes (already were in the previous poster)

Feather duster with dark gray/black feathers

On this shelf there books also in the previous poster, but at different place 🤔: The Crow Road, Catch-22.

And: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, from wikj: mystery novel by nritish writer Mark Haddon. Its title refers to an observation by the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes in the 1892 short story The Adventure of Silver Blaze

And: No Woman No Cry: My Life with Bob Marley by Rita Marley a memoir of Bob Marley by wife, Rita.

Also heard the people say that the right one of the Catch-22 they see Gabriel García Márquez on the spine (I can't read it :)).

Lord Jim and Treasure Island have also been identified in the previous poster but now are in a different place 🤔👀.

Three books by Jane Austen: Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice and Emma. We have already seen Pride and Prejudice in the previous poster but it was a different edition so Aziraphale has more than one :).

Candy?

Again geckos! :) 🦎 (there were three in the previous poster)

The Buddy Holly Everyday was also in a different place in the previous poster. And there is a note on it

The Ressurectionist, 66. Goat Gate, Edinburgh 👀.

And I can’t believe the speed with which you've created this masterpiece.

Sherlock was definitely extremely excited and dare I say, so were we all.

SILVER BLAZE PART THREE - happy jonkday everyone. one of these days i'll draw a scene that doesn't take place at night

NTs: "I hated this book because it misrepresents autistic people really bad. The author isnt even autistic and it's just not accurate. The main character just info dumbs random information in the middle of the story, that is not how autistic people talk. It's really bad. It should be burned, banned, it's horrible. I hate it soo much bro."

My autistic ass: Well, I fuckin loved that book and I found it super relatable...

(Same girl who said this is my anti-everything ex-friend)

(The book is "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" if you were wondering)

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.’

Today I was at the cool lil theatre where I help out backstage and there wasn't anything much to do but I didn't quite feel like leaving yet so I was just watching YouTube under a table stage right and suddenly I hear click click click and I turn and it was a dog!!!!!!! And the sheer joy of Dog in place where Normally Not Dog was a fabulous gift from the universe

Neurodivergent narrators

Does anyone have recommendations for novels written from the point of view of neurodivergent characters? I can't get the narrator of the second half of Minor Detail out of my head.

Even more specifically, neurodivergent characters who go through an investigation in their stories? That's what the stories below have in common. It's an interesting connection between them.

Minor Detail by Adania Shibli

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

[tyrianluda]

remembering that i made a spotify playlist back in my high school senior year over a book we were reading that i didnt even like that much

[blood-sweat-pencraft]

I don't like

shopping at Christmas

3 strangers talking to me at the same time

crowds of people laughing and shouting

looking at people's quickly moving faces

smelling cigarette breath and aftershave

adverts shouting in my head to buy things

when people grab me like ready-made rubbish

a rushing river of people and only one way to go

I like a really cold winter night when all I could see was a star

Found poem source:

Haddon, Mark. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Vintage Books, New York, 2003. pp: 8-10, 23, 32-39, 51, 82, 101-104, 145, 154, 178

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time stick and poke

[haveyoureadthispoll]

Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow. This improbable story of Christopher’s quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating, unusual, and widely heralded novels in recent years.
