aziraphalesbian:

do you ever think about aziraphale’s books, why he chose to surround himself with, of all that earth had to offer, books.

books are collections of knowledge and imagination; they are literally humanity distilled into stories. there is nothing, in my opinion, more profoundly, fundamentally human than a book. and aziraphale’s home is filled with them, filled with human stories that he doesn’t want anyone to buy take from him. he lives his entire life surrounded by books; he is an angel and can create the most lovely, safe space imaginable, and he chooses to stuff it floor-to-ceiling with books.

i think it’s really lovely.
