Why I read Neil Gaiman's blog, and should be reading more of his books

Quotes like this:

I assumed that you couldn't bring photo-taking things to the White House breakfast, and I was wrong, so Salman Rushdie took this photo of me and Maddy on his phone, to record the event for posterity.


And turns out I have the perfect icon for this occasion....

I really enjoy Neil Gaiman. If you ever have an opportunity to go to a reading, definitely try to make it-- he's a great reader (lovely voice), entertaining, and just seems like a good person.

Also, check out his short stories if you haven't-- _Smoke and Mirrors_ is a great collection. I believe the first story is the one about finding the holy grail in an Oxfam shop.

The content of that line just seems like some wonderfully cannabis-inspired awesomeitude right there now.

Plethorax has Smoke and Mirrors, I think, but we have Fragile Things right in our Library! It's his most recent collection of poetry and short stories, and it's pretty frickin' fabulous.

Ok, The Graveyard Book ROCKS! I am done with it, you may have it back now. Any idea where I would find Fragile Things? I have not yet seen it, but it is possible I looked right at it and kept going. You know, the drugs and all.
