 Neil Gaiman Thought I should re-start the thread about how much Neil Gaiman owns, so feel free to discuss his awesomeness and your favorite work by him  Personally, I love his short stories, American Gods, Good Omens (his collaboration w/ Terry Pratchett), and Stardust the most, though I've read all of his stuff...except some of his children's books and haven't read all of Sandman.

Re: Neil Gaiman Sandman is off da hook, as is American Gods and Good Omens.
Neil Gaiman is a great author with a very interesting outlook on the world.

Re: Neil Gaiman I've always liked him but never LOVED him as everyone else does. Neverwhere was really good, that's my favorite of his.

Re: Neil Gaiman Neverwhere's a great book too. It's also a BBC miniseries...which isn't so fabulous lol.

Re: Neil Gaiman My friend owned softbound copies of his Sandman series (which I devoured) and I am very happy to have a paperback copy of American Gods. It goes on my personal mythology shelf along with the movies Constantine and the Underworld series as inspirations for how I think about all things spiritual, including otherkin. I don't know how he does it, I'm just glad he does.

Re: Neil Gaiman I have a signed copy of Coraline  I haven't read any of his other works, though I've seen the movies based on them (which were pretty good). Once I work through my huge "to read" pile, I'm definitely moving into Gaiman's other works.

Re: Neil Gaiman I've only read Sandman.
I like Sandman as a character but there is something I dislike about Death that I cannot define.
I certainly prefer Alan Moor as a comic book artist.

Re: Neil Gaiman Pssst...Graphic novel artists.
Though I love Alan Moore's graphic novels, I have to say that the complete Sandman collection just does it for me. To me, Neil Gaiman is like the epitome of fantasy writing...

Re: Neil Gaiman lol
right.... over here, we call everything with a series of pictures a "comic book" ;p
but in any case, I consider Moore more philosophical.
Especially Promethea and V for Vendetta.
Not that Gaiman is not...

Re: Neil Gaiman Recently I saw Mirror Mask. It was a damn good movie, if I do say so.
