[The feed shows Castle laying on his bed, looking half-asleep or maybe just bored. He could probably be doing something productive, something that could benefit the war effort in some way, but would rather ask the population at large a question.]

Hey, Asgard - What's your favorite book?

[He's not doing research of any kind, just purely curious. But if anyone asks, this is somehow related to the Welcoming Committee. Don't worry, he'll make it work.]

My favorite book is The Unabridged Laws of Ylisse.

[video]

[writeswrongs]

... I don't think I've ever heard of that. What kind of book is it?

video

[fire_punk]

Don't have one. They're either too long and don't have pictures or they're for little kids.

[writeswrongs]

[Oh God, here they go again.]

I'm shocked.

Book of the Law. Well, assuming I can get past that drugged out nut-job's misunderstandings of everything. [She snickered.] I guess one of my favorites is probably the old stories from the Cycle. Mom used to read me the myths a lot when I was young.

[Another one who reads Law for fun? Maybe she's studying to be a lawyer too.]

I don't think I'm familiar with either of those. Though I guess it depends on who or what's Law you're referring to.

Does it count if it's a comic book?

Voice;

[writeswrongs]

Yes. Absolutely.

Not a joke book though?

[Video]

[granddevil]

The Bible is a favorite comedy, for me. [ satan n o ]

I jest. "The Inugami Clan" was a good read.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

[Har de har, Satan. Castle's not really offended though.]

I haven't heard of that. What's it about?

[madcuriosity]

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats!

[writeswrongs]

[Castle grins.]

They made a musical out of it where I'm from.

It's difficult for me to find a favorite, but I'm quite fond of "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

A classic. That's one of my daughter's favorites as well.

[beyondmeasure]

I've a few favourites. First, there's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, although it's not terribly comprehensive. I also rather enjoyed Why I Didn't Die When the Augurey Cried.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I hope we have a copy of that in the library here because I'd love to know where to find fantastic beasts.

[That's one of the beautiful things about Asgard, the library pulls in books from every world.]

[moodkiller]

Oh, that's difficult. [Still, Naoto considers.] Detective fiction. Largely Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett and what followed after them, though I have a soft spot for Holmes stories.

But if I were to choose a favorite... it would have to be The Long Goodbye.

[writeswrongs]

[Oh, you're talking Castle's language.]

Excellent choice, my friend. Those are all favorites of mine. I love Ian Fleming's books too.

[dyingisnotdead]

...one that had pornographic pictures in it.

[Loras isn't fond of reading.]

[writeswrongs]

[Snort.]

Hey, I'm fond of those books as well.

[A young girl pondered for a bit]

I don’t really have a favorite but as long as they tell stories about how humans and technology, I think that would be good enough for me!

[writeswrongs]

Any one of those in particular that you read and liked?

[Video]

[justacough]

Well, I'm fond of plays more than novels, myself.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

I like plays too, though don't read many of them for pleasure. It's harder to do that with a play, I feel.

So what plays do you like, then?

[video]

[familyissues]

Hard choice. The Three Musketeers, by Alexandre Dumas. Kept me afloat as a kid.

[video]

[writeswrongs]

Solid pick. Did you read The Count of Monte Cristo?

video; fashionably late?

[pushesgently]

It would be cruel to make me choose, when being here has provided access to so many more than I could read at home.

video; jeez altair, i guess so

[writeswrongs]

You have an excellent point. The library in Odin is the most impressive one I've ever been in.

[digophelia]

"Paradise Lost" by John Milton.

video;

[writeswrongs]

Heavy. But a classic. Milton was so hard for me to read in high school.
