I recently read Ocean at the End of the Lane and know many people in my book club who would love to hear that Gaiman suggested Diane Wynn Jones.

I loved Ocean at the End of the Lane but now I need to read Diane Wynn Jones, who is new to me.

Especially when it’s Neil Gaiman and Diana Wynne Jones (who I should read more)

I don’t think I managed to utter anything cool or coherent either. As for DWJ I love “The power of one” and “Deep Secrets” Great stories people!

I’m a little put off from some of Gaiman’s books because they are said to be creepy and I don’t do creepy books. (I did like the ones I have read: The Graveyard Book and Stardust.) I don’t know why the creepy elements in DWJ (human sacrifice, anybody?) don’t scare me! But I have never had trouble with them as I have with some others.

IS IT? Because it is sort of an embarrassing memory. :p

I clink my glass to that toast. I miss her books. 🙁

Ahahahahahahaha, I am laughing so hard at this story. It’s ridiculous how much my own moments of minor pretentiousness HAUNT MY DREAMS.

It sounds like Neil Gaiman is indeed a very nice man. I’ve never heard anyone tell a story of meeting him where he wasn’t completely lovely to them.

That sounds awful! I praise you for being photographed with him! All the praise from me. I don’t even like being photographed with people I know!
