It's wonderful that Harper Collins are allowing people to read online or download an eBook of Neverwhere that they can read for 30 days. But they've proven to me that they're no better than any other media company that seeks...

Neil was fast becoming my favourite author until I read Feeders and Eaters in Fragile Things. I’m still too scared to pick up anything he’s written, although I’m increasingly tempted.

Be tempted, Bracton. I enjoy Neil Gaiman's work immensely and while I occasionally experience the frisson of fear or moments of disquiet at some of the images conjured on the page, I always go back to his works because they are conduits of vivid other realities; some which touch rather closely on reality, while others are visions of the fantastic. Which books beside Fragile Things have you read?

[Bracton]

Smoke and Mirrors which I absolutely loved. Then Fragile Things ....

I went to read Anansi Boys but that didn't work out too well for me. I'm tempted to go for stardust. I'd be happy for reccomendations. I could do with a good fantasy novel to read next. I'm reading Graham Greene at the moment which is good, but all too of this world.

I'd recommend Stardust; if you've seen the movie, the book is a bit different from what appears on the screen, but both are excellent. I'd also highly recommend Neverwhere--it's really my favorite of all of the ones that I've read; also, if you like Terry Pratchett, give Good Omens a shot. American Gods was quite different from Anansi Boys, but some of the people who have been introduced to Gaiman with that book didn't really care for the novel (mostly my brother, but he's...odd).
