Kay you look interesting. Consider yourself friended. This IS how this works, correct?

I assume so. I'm a little new to this too. You have me at a disadvantage, however. Interests?

Or I could just look further down the page I guess :/ Let's try that one again - favourite Gaiman work and why?

You are never at a disadvantage when it comes to me! My ignorance knows no bounds!
Probably American Gods. Its scale is so epic I am dazzled, like so: *-* The Sandman series is a close second, but I haven't finished reading it yet, so I am ashamed to proclaim my love for it. How about you?

AG is great for interesting Myth titbits, and Neverwhere got me into him in the first place. Then there's A Study in Emerald - Sherlock Holmes plus Cthulhu in his hands could never go wrong!

(And I haven't finished Sandman either ;) I'm trying to get into more of his short stories, too)

Yeah, I do so love his use of mythology. And Lovecraft. A Study in Emerald is amazing. Have you read Gaiman's other short story narrated by Cthulhu? I don't recall what it's named, but it is quite excellent.
I love his short story collections. I have a signed copy of Fragile Things. It was a good reward for three hours in line to meet him...

Narrated by Cthulhu? Not sure, but do you mean Shoggoth's Old Peculiar? Being a consumer of strange British ales that one did make me smile :)

I caught him when he did a reading from the Graveyard Book last year and got AG and NW signed - we were at the front of a very, very long line of people. Thankfully I wasn't sadist enough to buy three copies of the Graveyard book and get him to sign them all like the friend I was with O_o. Like a fool though I lent them both to people straight away - two months later when I finally got the second one back, I decided not to let them out of my sight since!

Was that the one with the tramps in the bar in Innsmouth? No, that wasn't the one I meant, although that was excellent too. This was a sort of brief autobiography thing, I think it was on Gaiman's website... Cthulhu narrating his own story to a family member. Good times.
Oh gosh lending out books is always kind of nervewracking. Well, at least you converted two new people to the Gaiman cult!

Darn right I did :D I shall keep an eye out for that one, though.

Right now though i'm hitting the hay, since it's 2AM over here. Good to have met you though. More in the morning?

It's 9 over here. Timezones are crazy, man. Sure thing! Talk to you later!
