Hello Lovely Cannonballers! Dropping in to remind everyone that we’ll be gathering for our second chat THIS weekend to talk about the Good Omens show adaptation on Amazon. It’s another chance to talk about the book in case you missed May’s Discussion post and a chance to talk specifically about what we all think about the choices made in translating the book into a six-hour television experience. On Friday evening, June 14th, MsWas and myself will be chatting LIVE in our Cannonball Read Book Chat Facebook […]
Book Club Discussion Post: Good Omens
It is that time friends, our first #CannonBookClub of the year is officially underway. Good Omens is getting the television adaption treatment, but first it will get the Cannonballer experience – assuming we all survive the apocalypse of course. Ground rules remain the same as they always have. For those of you who might be joining in for #CannonBookClub for the first time (hello new friends!) all are welcome. The topics are numbered, and we ask that you refer to them below by that number […]
Thanks, Book Club!
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
So I’m giving this another go due to book club and the series coming out (which looks awesome!) But there is a reason I didn’t read it until now. I bought the book a while ago (10 years ago?) and it was just hanging out in my TBR pile. Then I started dating a guy, and he recommended that I read it. So dug it out and put it on top of the pile. Then we broke up. And I couldn’t seem to get past […]
Good Omens Discussion Topics
Our Good Omens discussion is now open. Please join us there for these and other topics to discuss! This was a first time read for me, a book that has been sitting on my bookshelf, or my roommate’s, for years. I was saving it, and without getting into review/spoiler territory I can say I’m glad to have read it now. Good Omens tells us the story of what happens when The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book […]
#CannonBookClub Announcement
The vote is closed and we have a winner – A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will be the basis of our Classic and Retellings book clubs later this year! The voting was close for most of the week, and then there was a late surge – over 40 votes in the last 24 hours – and Sherlock pulled ahead. We’ll be having two discussions, one for A Study in Scarlet on August 16th and 17th and the second for the adaptation of your […]
I would like a copy of the ‘Buggre Alle This’ Bible.
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
This is one of those books that are good when you first read them, but get better as you get older. A lot of satire is probably like that, especially comic satire. I thought this book was funny in 2009, but now parts of it made me laugh so hard I was crying. Plus, I did the audio this time, and it made it even better. Martin Jarvis has a nice sense of comic timing, and his voice characterization is great, particularly for Crowley and Aziraphale. (The […]
