Book Discussion: Good Omens - SPOILER FREE thread

Here we go! Do you have your book yet? Mine is "in transit" from the library and I should have it sometime in the next couple of days.

Have to dig it out from the back of a bookshelf, but I'm looking forward to starting it in the next couple of days when I've cleared my backlog of periodicals.

It's set in summer IIRC so should be perfect.

I had a copy in the house forever, but my younger daughter reports I sent it to her in her last book package. Luckily, I found a copy at Half Price Books. I started it yesterday and have the feeling I read it a long time ago. Not that I remember anything about it.

Mine's 'in the mail'.

I have a copy here at home, and one at work which everyone has been reading. I'm reading it in my lag-time at work, but when I finish my Sookie book, I'll read this one more steadily. It's a reread for me, so, no worries.

I have my own copy already, but I won't get to rereading until I've finished the current book and another one. I'm so slow reading at the moment. Too much thesis.

Well, I have it and have read it and am ready to discuss whenever the group is ready. Perhaps I will go over to the thread that allows spoilers.

I'm planning to borrow my daughter's copy.
:oD
And, I'll be placing the rest of my 'currently reading' books on hold. I need something FUN!

Do I out myself as a hopeless fan of both the authors if I reveal I have both the paperback (for reading in the tub and loaning to people) and the new edition hardcover (the demon version, natch)?

#9 - Hee hee. Should I mention that my daughter first 'noticed' her boyfriend when she spotted him reading the angel copy at school in the hallway? (I had bought her the demon copy, 'natch.')

I saw the 2006 version of The Omen earlier in the week. It was OK. I tried watching the original version today, but the disc was so scratched I couldn't. Too bad, it looked very creepy. I did see however how much of the premise of the book came from the movie.

#11 I wouldn't get too hung up on the references to The Omen. The cultural references to the Just William books and similar are just as noticeable.

I got the book from the library but I need a few days to get some other books done before I can start.

I've only made it about 40 or so pages into it because no one will let me sit quietly anywhere these days, but I am loving it so far.
:o)

I just picked up the book yesterday and then read a bit while waiting for my husband to do some stuff. Just the intro alone had me laughing out loud. This is going to be fun and I do need some fun. I am really looking forward to this.

LT won't let me add it at the moment though which is a bit frustrating.

I have only 100 pages or so to go. If I could stay off LibraryThing I could finish it and get to the juicy spoilers thread.

Already have a copy. It'll be a reread for me, but worth it. Demon copy BTW.

Yahoo, finished. On to the spoilers thread. Devil copy.

I ordered the book from the library a few days ago and it just came in. I've been reading it off an on today, about 40 pages into the story. It's a reread for me as well. But, like Jennie, I remember almost nothing about it so I'm staying away from the spoiler thread for now. I do like the introduction as well :)

Angel copy.

Oh, hee hee. Devil copy for me!

My copy is the old UK cover, with both of the supernaturals on there. They're both drawn quite handsomely.

Hm, can't remember. I know I have an angel copy at home, but I think it might be the devil copy at work. Been so crazy lately I haven't had a chance to read either one much.

I have an angel copy.

Good Omens

(Just adding a mention of the book for testing.)
