Neil Gaiman

I just read Murder Mysteries and it was fantastic. And it lead to a train of thought about how Neil Gaiman has changed me. He looks at the world in such a. . . I'm not sure what word I want. Original, I think. All his writing is so creative and original and different. It's amazing. You read it, and you see this new point of view. And it broadens your mind. It opens you up to new ways of thinking. (when I say "you", I really mean me--I can only tell how it's affected me) And it changes you. I don't know. It's fantastic and wonderful and fun.

[I'm feeling particularly poetic, if you didn't notice.]

I interrupted Katie in writing an e-mail to David, I just had this thought and I knew I'd lose it, my memory being what it is, so I borrowed the computer.

Yes. He is incredible. I worship his writings :D American Gods was amazing. I was so excited to get it and it was so good and so cool. I need to reread it and memorize it and know it, except that I'm too busy reading Smoke and Mirrors and Coraline and Dream Hunters. lol.

Hiya :) Always good to meet another Neil Gaiman fan!
