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.’

No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley) Reggae

A song about a man who bids farewell to his beloved woman, with whom he has shared hardships, and goes off to war. I would say it's an almost perfect song. However, I once met a woman who said, ``I don't like this song.'' I'm guessing that this is probably because it can be interpreted as a song about "a selfish man who leaves her for whatever reason." Women may want men to always be by their side.

No woman no cry（ボブ・マーリー）レゲエ

苦労を分かち合った最愛の女性に別れを告げ、戦地に赴く男性の歌。ほぼ完璧な歌と言って良い。ただ、以前、「この歌、嫌い」と言っていた女性に出会ったことがある。たぶん、「なんだかんだ理由をつけて、自分の許から去っていく、自分勝手な男性」の歌とも取れるからだろうと、彼女の心の中を推測している。女性は、いつも男性に、そばにいて欲しいのかも。

In the words of Kendrick Lamar, "we gon' be alright. Do you hear me, do you feel me? We gon' be alright."

I've watched the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" trailer like eight times. I'm feeling a little better because yeah.

The soundtrack is perfect, soundtracked by Tems' rendition of Bob Marley's “No Woman, No Cry” and Kendrick Lamar's “Alright”.
