thetraciwho asked: Hi =) I recently had the opportunity to meet David Tennant and was excited to have him sign my copy of Good Omens. A friend remarked that it seemed disrespectful to have anyone but the author sign a book. I have decided my friend is a busybody, who should mind her own paperback collection. Am I wrong?
It’s your book. You own it. You paid for it (or perhaps were given it). Nobody else gets to tell you what to do with your book. There are no book rules except those that you, as book owner, impose.
So of course you can get David Tennant to sign your book. It will make David happy to do so, and make you happy as well. I don’t mind at all, and Terry is in no position to complain any more. (Joke. He wouldn’t have minded.)
You can get your class at school to sign a book you love for you. Or you can colour it in. You can even fold down the corners of the pages if you need to, or read it in the bath. Or make it into something like a humument.
Your book.
Gioacchino Pagliei (1852-1896) Centurion Cornelius 1878.
Dude with Halo: Cornelius, the SUPREME (echo) council has sent me to you, not in my capacity as THE MESSENGER (echo some more), but to hear what you have to say.
Cornelius (but my friends call me korn lol): Yo, that’s my fog you’re stepping in, who are you, I mean do you even know who I am?
Dude (just come up with a nickname for me, man): …
I think I do? Your name is Cornelius, isn’t that correct?
Korn: Yea.
Wing Boy (come on..): Anyway, *clears throat* what is the message thou wishes to send?
Korn: Tell your boss-man/boss-woman I’ll get it back to him at the end of the week.
Wing ManBoy: Get her/him back what? Between you and me.
Korn: Oh, I stole the only copy of Good Omens left.
