I thought you meant sweet as in a diabetic coma
Let us (me) know what you think of the first book when you finish it. I started a Sandman thread in Dutch Hill if you want to hit that up.

I'm all over that. I'll have a chance to look at the BMV I get all my books at this weekend. They usually have 'em cheap, cheap. Hopefully, they'll have a copy or two.
I'll keep an eye out for other Gaiman books, too. I really loved American Gods.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me....Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

Just finished Homicide : A Year On The Killing Streets. Very good, very enjoyable (especially as you can see where some of hte stories, anecdotes and stories have made their way through to The Wire and obviously, the show Homicide Life On The Street). David Simons has a very...conversational writing style. He starts to tell you about a case, then breaks off to tell a story about the detective investigating it, then goes back to the case.
That sounds really cool.
I'm listening to Darkly Dreaming Dexter right now, pretty fun.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I may have to move American Gods up on my reading list - looks like it's getting a lot of good reviews here.

Yup, you need to move it up to #1. You won't regret it
I think I can read King again! (thank you all my friends who helped me with your advice in I Need Help thread) I will resume Duma Key tonight, and if I really can read, that will be the happiest moment! I had loved it so much before I had to stop.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

That's great, Jean! I'll cross my fingers (and toes) for you.

lately into Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show and Everville; also into Lee Child's Jack Reacher series; as well as keeping SK in the mix with Duma Key. Can't friggin find Imajica by Barker n it's pissin me off.
VERY good series. Jeff Lindsay. have you gotten into the Showtime series yet?Originally Posted by Matt
Really enjoying Water For Elephants, not at all what I expected!
Tiffany, I'm so glad you loved American Gods - it blew me away too first time (and second...ad infinitum) If you read Anansi Boys you'll be greeted by some familiar characters
If you liked Watchmen you have to read V For Vendetta and erase the memory of that atrocious film forever!!
I ♥ Imajica.
Have you tried Amazon yet?
It wasn't what I expected, either - but I really enjoyed it!

Totally - it was a case of a bad summary write up on the back cover...if I'd picked it up in a bookstore and read the back I would have thought "Bleck! Crappy lovestory!" but it's way more
actually i'm broke.( i meant as far as the public libraries.
I'm not even gonna bother seeing the movie for Watchmen. I'll keep my memories of the book pure. Sorry Feev, don't shoot me.If you liked Watchmen you have to read V For Vendetta and erase the memory of that atrocious film forever!!
That's exactly what I thought! My boss loaned me the book, and after reading the back, I was all "oh great, this will be fun". Turns out she knows my tastes pretty well.Totally - it was a case of a bad summary write up on the back cover...if I'd picked it up in a bookstore and read the back I would have thought "Bleck!
