I'd love to see Rufus Sewell or Oded Fehr as Crowley, and Simon Russell Beale as Aziriphale.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

How about Pierce Brosnan as Aziraphale? He can do a great "bumbling" when he wants. Maybe a bit too pretty for Aziraphale. I've always pictured Crowley as the prettier of the two. But I don't remember anything in canon that says Aziraphale can't be pretty.

Looking for books for my 11-year-old step-niece. Per her mom, she likes books about overcoming diversity, getting into love stories, friendship stories, and stories with imagination. Nothing violent or scary. Anything with pets or animals (non-fiction) would be good as well.
In the back of my mind, I'm thinking the "All Creatures Great and Small" books. I feel like friends at that age were reading and loving those, but I never read them.
She also likes comics and graphic novels. She has been loving Tintin, but I've now run out of those.

The status is NOT quo.
Yes! I read and reread the James Herriot books at her age. Perfect.
Also, you should really read them. They're awesome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe some of the Marguerite Henry horse books? Many of them are based on true stories.

Because books.
Oh, Misty of Chincoteague! God, I loved those books.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yes to the James Herriot books.
How about Sam the Bat ?
For non-fiction with pets or animals, perhaps Gerald Durrell?
If she's read Tintin, how about Asterix? I associate the two because I read both series at about the same time.

Because of my love for animals?
The Chincoteague books have been suggested. I agree those will be good.
If she's read Tintin, how about Asterix? I associate the two because I read both series at about the same time.
Idéfix is Milou, Milou is Idéfix. Discuss.
Sorry, can't remember the English name of the dog in Astérix. I hesitate about Astérix because I didn't like it nearly as much at that age, which I now realize is because it's all about the word play. I wonder how good the English translations do that? I must investigate.
