Wolfgang picked up his book and began to read. He was no more than a paragraph or two into the chapter when he started chuckling. He paused to laugh out loud, something he rarely did while reading, but this time he could not help himself. Amber was right; Good Omens was funny and it was fast becoming his new favorite book. He hoped she enjoyed The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the book he recommended to her. He continued reading, chuckling and laughing out loud to himself.

It was during one part that he found exceptionally funny, that Amber happened to walk by. She poked her head in the den and said, “I take it you like it?”

“Yes. It’s funnier than I imagined it would be.” Wolfgang grinned. “How are you enjoying the ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide’?”

“I like it; it’s like reading pure crack.” She grinned back at him.

Wolfgang nodded. “That’s an interesting way of putting it.”

“Not exactly mine, but it does describe it perfectly. It’s like you need to be high to understand it and yet, reading it is so funny, you laugh like you’re high.” Amber grinned.

“That sounds like something Bernd would say.”

“Yup.” She grinned. “Anyway, I’m heading up to the store, do you need anything?”

“A sequel or two to this would be nice, but seriously, I don’t need anything. Thanks.”

“No problem.”

Wolfgang watched her leave, before going back to his book. The Four Horsemen were coming and he was dying to know what happens next.

That's the one I thought you meant. At least I think that's the one I saw on TV. XD It was sooo BAD< I've blotted most of it out of my memory. XD

I like a good, cracky book every once in a while. :D

It's okay; we all have different tastes.

The one from the 80s was worse It only ran here on PBS

True. As popular as Terry Prachett is I never got that into him. I don't remember liking Good Omens (didn't stop me from buying the dvds at Christmas but I love Tennant and Sheen so...)

Yeah? XD

*nods* I have one of his books floating around, just need to find it & the time to read it. I did like "Good Omens" & while I don't own the DVDs, I loved the show! :D

I'm never getting to it at this rate

Awe... I know that feeling. I'm sooo glad that the book stores by me closed as I'd probably have a stack of books that I'll never get around to reading, even though it's sad that they closed. XD

I hear you. I compensated by buying books I dont' need at library sales

*nods* They never seem to have anything I'd like at my library sales, but that's probably a good thing. ;P

WOW! That's a lot of books! XD I guess I am lucky I don't like what my library sells! XD

hahahaha I didn't take all of them..just three bags. Help me

*LAUGHS* I didn't think so. XD I was just blown away by the amount of books they had! While 3 bags is a lot to buy, it probably didn't make a dent in what they brought. XD

Of course I didn't buy them all because I already HAD a lot of them....
