    Yep, a couple times. I love it. It is actually pretty scary.


    I'm pretty certain that I have read almost everything he has done novel and short story-wise, but I am pretty behind on comics.
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    YES! Thank you OchrisO!

    I'm right in the middle.

    Gaiman's work on Superman/Green Lantern : Legend of the Green Flame was awesome.

    Listening to Polar Shift by Cussler.

    yeah, y'know like if you see a book but can't afford to buy it at that moment, you click the "add to wishlist" button and then you can find it straight away when you have the cash.

    Yeah, and I think others can see it, if you let them. Makes that Xmas shopping so much easier.

    Lisa, Coraline is a must read. It's excellent.

    I have Corraline but haven't read it yet. Sounds like I should get started!!

    I'm reading "Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific" by J. Maarten Troost right now.

    I had no idea that Lisa was such the expert on the book I'm reading.

    All these stories are wonderful in their own way, totally worth the price and the time.

    I just now realized that everything (ok, both things) I'm reading at the moment are by Gaiman: The Sandman Volumes and FRAGILE THINGS.

    Keep talking like that and I'll have to go reread it. It's been years...

    Now Patrick, what kind of stalker would I be if I didn't brush up on everything you were into?


    Finished HSB yesterday - I loved it!! Joe Hill reminds me of Gaiman quite a bit style wise.
