Welcome, it is never too late! I'm glad you found out about the book club. Next time we choose a book (for Mar/Apr), you'll know and can help suggest and vote.

I ordered a copy today, the library was out. Good Omens must be popular.

Good Omens is one of my favorite books of all time. If people end up liking it, other noteworthy books (not just for the book club) are Terry Pratchett's Discworld series and Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels. Sandman is more serious - it's very interesting and it made me realize that graphic novels can be really good.
