omar: (that sport with a stick)

03: Video: I used to love them myths. That stuff was deep.

[Omar's kept his promise, and in the days since his last conversation with Leslie, he's been haunting the library, doing a lot of browsing. For being, well, a riotous gangster-slash-angel of vengeance, he's actually a very good library patron: quiet, polite, keeps mostly to himself.

And finally, he's found a book. He's sitting in the fifth floor common room, next to the shark tank, the book loosely held atop his lap, cover unseen.]


Now Barge, y'all don't know me like my warden do, so maybe y'all don't know that I've got me a real appreciation for the written word. But Leslie Knope want to encourage that in me, I suppose, so she gone and named me co-captain of the new Barge Book Club. Or something like that. I gets to pick the first book, anyway.

So now I'm left with two questions for y'all:

One, who be wanting to join up?

And two, who already got a copy of this? [And now he holds it up: 50 Shades of Grey, by E.L. James.] I hear it get real popular in the future.

I want to be in the book club.

I haven't read that book.

What would be required for membership, sir?

I'm not familiar with that material.

[...or any material not printed by Manticore. Except the Three Musketeers. And Beauty and the Beast.

We know.

[Kay is about to say something before he sees the book, and then there's a strange sort of snort just before he can turn the feed back off.

A minute later.]

Has Miss Knope read this work of literary greatness?

My designation is X5-493, sir. Or Ben, if you prefer.

What is the timetable for completing the required reading?

[personal profile] trenchcoatedly 2012-09-06 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'll do so.

I suggest you should read "The Master and Margarita," by Mikhail Bulgakov.
warisart: (Considering #3289)

[personal profile] warisart 2012-09-06 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'll ask my warden if I can participate.

It's about the devil coming to Russia in the late 1970's, known as part of the Soviet era. Additionally, there is a side storyline considering Pontius Pilate's consideration of the trial of Jesus the Nazarene.

Well, alright.

[The fact that Kay isn't saying more to that is a testament that occasionally he is a cruel, cruel soul.]
most_feared: (k - what is this bullshit?)

[personal profile] most_feared 2012-09-06 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
[The temptation is there just for the straight-faced amusement.]

Nah, that's okay. I've never been much of a social guy. [But to be a fly on that wall...] You all have fun.

Sure. Why not.

[He got his live reading already.] I'll be sure to do that.

I'm more a nonfiction guy. Hit me up if you do anything with Gilgamesh or the Norse stuff.

[It got published after his time, but he heard wind of it when it was still in its nascent stages. You deal with the Raiths, it behooves you to keep up with anything 'sexy vampire' related. He'll just sit that out.]

That's... Uh, yeah.

Tell me how it goes.

[OMAR. Look at you, taking the initiative to get things started. Leslie is so happy right now.]

I've never read it -- I'm just a few years off current literary trends.
