Depending on the book, I get annoyed when my husband wants to read, and he's very considerate of books. I don't even want to know how I'd react to people trying to buy books from me! (I've worked both in a large bookstore--Borders--and a university library--I shelved books at Emerson College for the three years it took me to get my BFA in creative writing--and I've seen some of the torture people can put books through. It hurts!)
That makes perfect sense, Luna being so spaced out that she's rock-solid--just don't ask me to explain exactly how it makes sense! Luna's just...it almost feels like she's grounded in real reality, sorta, rather than the "reality" the rest of the world lives in, if that makes any sense.
I do quite think Crowley would enjoy being Aziraphale's daemon, though I doubt he'd ever admit it without extreme duress of some sort. And I really could see Aziraphale as a duck...can't really imagine him as anything else, actually, save perhaps a fluffy white bunny. (Or would that be another one of Crowley's forms, perhaps the bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?)
I also read A Wrinkle in Time and the other two when I was a kid (but not Good Omens, though it was published when I was one--I think I was in grade four, maybe five, when it first came out--but my roommate during my final year at Emerson introduced me to it; and not HDM, either, which I was introduced to while I was staying at a homeless shelter in Hartford, CT during winter break that same year). In fact, Wrinkle was one of the first two books I ever purchased from an old independent bookstore we used to have in the town where I grew up, McKinzey-White (which may or may not be spelled right, and the store closed down long ago, sadly, as it was much preferable to the larger bookstores that are all over the place today--the staff tended to be friendlier and more knowledgeable, and the store itself felt more "home-like" than any other bookstore I've ever been in, save Hooked On Books, my favourite used bookstore down home); the other was John Bellairs' The Trolley to Yesterday, which got me so into Bellairs' books that I've read everything he ever wrote and am hunting down first edition copies of all of them, along with books written after his death by Brad Strickland, using Bellairs' characters.
Huh. And that was a long ramble. Sorry about that!
