[Voice; Nebula 19th, evening]

[salutosinedelectat]

Good evening, fellow passengers,

I hope this message finds you well.

Foremost, you must forgive me in any mistakes I may make in sending this address to you all, as I'm certainly not used to sharing my thoughts in such a way. I'm most definitely more of a fan of the classic handwritten letter.

I was going over the upstairs library collection, so generously donated by other passengers - and you're welcome add to it yourself), when I found myself wondering about the extensive possibilities of literary works to be found in the countless worlds we not only come from, but the ones we visit.

Since there's scarcely a chance to explore such things in the worlds we stop at, wrought with conflict as they tend to be, I figured the easier option would be to simply ask:

What are your favorite literary works from your world? What are they about? Which are considered timeless classics?

I eagerly await your response.

Your curious fellow passenger,
Aziraphale


Oh, also, if anyone's interested in submitting anything to the library, I have provided clean notebooks and writing material in the far right nook in the upper floor of the library. I'm also available to provide custom book binding services.

( he lists a few of particularly fancifully poetic titles. )

Which are some of the more poetic and slightly racy and adventurous ones. For classics...

( he names others, and they align with more traditional texts to an older consciousness of culture out of China, even if his is a fantastical one. )

[salutosinedelectat]

[ Aziraphale does find some familiarity, even if vague, with the kind of titles he shares. He does so wish he could get his hands on them, out of curiosity. ]

I can't say I've heard of those, although that doesn't mean we're necessarily from different worlds. I do wish it was easier to access copies than just using the ordering system.

[weifinder]

Ah, that is true... I wonder if it would be order-able in some... compressed sense. Or if a large item could be part of a library? A whole trove of books or scrolls or anything of the kind.

[salutosinedelectat]

A compilation? I suppose that would make it easier...

Oh, but it would make it harder to organize.

[weifinder]

Ah, but then we would have it to organise, wouldn't we?

[salutosinedelectat]

Fair point. It's better than having too little.
