    Well, I've posted about this dude a while back on the old forum, but didn't get much of a response... so I'm trying again.

    So has anyone ever read any of his stuff? He's a very talented writer and most people I've talked to about him (me included) really enjoyed his books.
    Some of my favourites are
    - Neverwhere
    - Good Omens
    - American Gods

    I think that everyone should read at least one book written by Neil Gaiman.


    Peace&Love

    I LOVE Neil Gaiman! :D The Sandman Comics are just wonderful! I can't remember who, but someone said they are "comics for the intellectual." They're just fantastic. <3

    I've also read American Gods, which was fabulous, and Coraline, which managed to scare the daylights out of me even though it's a children's story. lol But I actually listened to his narration of it, and I think it was the way he told the story that sent chills down my spine.

    But yes, the man is a genius! :)

    Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors! I agree, everyone should read at least one thing by him. I just finished American Gods again - it is a great book.

    My favorite Gaiman is Stardust...It's like a fairytale for adults that just sweeps you away, it's absolutely wonderful escapism.

    i loved seeing this thread... neil gaiman is probably my favorite author. the sandman series is amazing and i've read the entire series a few times.

    Baby Cakes is the creepiest short I've ever read. It's given me chills each time I've read it.

    Neverwhere is prolly the weirdest book I have ever read, I loved it. And Good Omens was just wicked funny, loved that one too. I also like Neil cause he and Tori Amos are such good friends ;)

    I LOVE GAIMAN. XD Which reminds me - I need to finish American Gods.. I've read Stardust and Neverwhere and some of his Sandman series..what I can find of it in this dusthole that's Middle Georgia anyway. I'm rather disappointed; he mentioned something a few years ago about making Neverwhere into a movie but I don't think he ever went through with it. Anyone know what's up with that?
    :confused:
