Secret Reader

I am told that Neil Gaiman has, in some public forum, conceded that Crowley does read--is a "secret reader." This is a relief--it seems both more in keeping with the demon who "prefers the funny ones," and coins phrases elegant enough for Shakespeare to thieve, and whose apparent literacy in thought, word, and deed reek of someone who's cracked a book on occasion. This is me, trying to create a Crowley who's reasonably consistent as both a secret reader, and someone who's still distinctly different from Aziraphale, who's a true bibliophile.
