I'd really like to join you and Matt on that challenge but I fear I'd never be able to keep up! You guys are crazy! So many challenges, and I can barely finish my one! Actually, I even you. If I weren't such a slow reader I'd be right there with you. : )<BR/><BR/>By the bye, this must be incredibly late coming, but love the new look!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104753122709281663.post-33130974142614849882007-08-31T19:17:00.000-06:002007-08-31T19:17:00.000-06:00Your are definitely certifiable!

Hey, things could be worse, right?<BR/><BR/>Haven't decided yet who will be my author for the challenge. You will love the 2 Gaiman's you haven't read yet.

It'll be fun to compare notes. :) Most of the books on the list I've read so long ago I barely remember them.<BR/><BR/><B>Chris</B>, maybe there's a group discount on strait jackets? ;)<BR/><BR/><B>Nymeth</B>, me too! Always good to meet fellow Gaiman lovers (worshippers/etc). I haven't ever read Sandman (this is going to sound awful, but until I started blogging, I thought graphic novels were sexually explicit ones), but I'll plan it around Halloween.<BR/><BR/><B>Heather</B>, admirable self restraint. :) Reviewing books professionally must be neat (I was going to say fun, but then I thought about the bad ones).<BR/><BR/><B>Iliana</B>, thanks for the good wishes! I hadn't heard of John Saul before, but I hope he's good!<BR/><BR/><B>Petunia</B>, love Wharton! Agreed on the super-human strength thing, and it's not my forte.<BR/><BR/><B>Dewey</B>, awesome! We'd have a little Gaiman club. :) I'll be looking forward to your decision.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104753122709281663.post-76796919396239967402007-08-29T20:24:00.000-06:002007-08-29T20:24:00.000-06:00Hey, maybe I can join you and Matt!

I look forward to your thoughts on those books. <BR/><BR/>I really love his novels, but I still think that Sandman is the best thing he's ever done. It's also the darkest, so it will be perfect for around Halloween! I think I might revisit a few Sandman stories around that period myself.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104753122709281663.post-44430666884309206182007-08-29T00:09:00.000-06:002007-08-29T00:09:00.000-06:00Yay for indulging in Neil Gaiman!

I'm glad to have a partner in crime! Unlike you, my only experience with Gaiman so far is <I>Stardust</I> and the short amount of <I>American Gods</I> I read. But I always hear so much good about his books and I keep adding them to my TBR list so I'm excited to get started!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
