This is probably gonna get lost in the tags but let's see what happens because I'm intrigued...
This is just a bit of fun and like I say it'll probably go unnoticed, but let's see how it goes...

Hi. Have you read William Boyd? If so, would you recommend his books?
Hello, mysterious inquirer! Here's the embarrassing answer: I cannot remember whether or not I ever finished Any Human Heart. I know I've read parts of it; I remember its place on the library shelf, the heft of it in my hand, the rhythm of the sentences. And yet surely, if I'd finished it, even over a decade ago, I'd remember it better?
That said, I know I've read and enjoyed his short stories, and I was favorably impressed by both of his Waugh adaptations (which I say because I care deeply about Waugh.)
Would I recommend William Boyd? If you like beautiful prose, irony, and introspection, I think I can say, with reasonable confidence--though with obviously limited evidence--yes. The thing is, the pool of authors whom I would recommend to absolutely anyone is much smaller than the pool of authors whose work I might well recommend to people whose tastes I know.

i feel like i won’t be able to put this correctly but i love the difference between how azi and crowley express their love and how beelzebub and gabriel express it. like beez and gabriel love each other but they never kiss because they’re not humans, they’re ethereal/occult beings who don’t express love in human terms. and their love isn’t explicitly romantic or queerplatonic or platonic but it doesn’t matter the label except that they’re in love.
but with crowley and azi, they’ve lived among humans for 6000 years, and they like earth and humanity, they enjoy eating human food and drinking and they enjoy human music and dancing and books, and i think overtime they’ve become connected with the human experience. so, when crowley comes to terms that he loves azi and needs to express it, his first instinct is to express how humans do—by kissing him.
it doesn’t mean they’re suddenly explicitly romantic, just that they’re expressly in love, and crowley in his desperation needs to show aziraphale those feelings before it’s too late. but unfortunately, he’s always too late.
