Hi, guys.

We decided to read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

The Bookshare link is
http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/11484?returnPath=L3NlYXJjaD9rZXl3b3JkPUdvb2QgT21lbnMm

NLS has this book but I don't know if it's on BARD yet.

The synopsis is below.

May's read is Pawn of Prophecy.
Christina

Synopsis
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter--the world's
only totally reliable guide to the future, the world will end on a Saturday.
Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. Which means that Armageddon will
happen on Saturday night. There will be seas of fire, rains of fish, the
moon turning to blood and the massed armies of Heaven and Hell will sort it
all out once and for all. Which is a major problem for Crowley, Hell's most
approachable demon and former serpent, and his opposite number and old fiend
Aziraphale, genuine angel and London book shop owner. They like it down here
(or, in Crowley's case, up here.) So they've got no alternative but to stop
the Four Motorcyclists of the Apocalypse, defeat the marching ranks of the
Witchfinder Army* and--somehow--stop it all from happening. Above all(or, in
Crowley's case below all)they need to find and kill the Antichrist,
currently the most powerful creature on Earth. This is a shame.
 Because he's eleven years old, loves his dog even though it's really a
Satanic hell-hound under all that hair, really cares about the environment
and is the sort of boy anyone would be proud to have as a son. He's also
totally invulnerable, and a nice kid. And if that's not enough, they've
still got Sunday to deal with... *all two of them.
