Interlibrary Loan

:D Something i ordered from the library a few months ago finally came in today. It's a 3-CD set of Neil Gaiman reading his book "Coraline", unabridged, 3+ hours. :D I can't wait to start listening to it. Good timing, too; i just finished reading my last book. :)

Ooh, i bet it will have some good soundbites in it, and i can make a Neil Gaiman event sound theme for my computer. ;D

Also, the library website has the new Neil Sandman book "Endless Nights" listed, but it's not in yet. As soon as it is, it's mine. :D

:D

you should tell me how it is .
i went to a book signing of his for american gods
and he read some excerpts from it..and surprisingly, he doesn't read very well..like..he pauses in odd places...and is very...disjointed in his spoken word reading..
i was disappointed..but he talked to me after the signing...actually sat and read one of my stories..and answered questions..great guy.

my meeting with tori amos was alot better though :) *TOOT TOOT!*

I met Neil.. oh, 4 or 5 years ago. He was giving a speech on modern mythology in a chapel of a university in St. Louis. What a great place to see him talk. I think the only thing he read was his "Nicholas Was" Christmas card, but afterwards he held a Q&A in a nearby building, and i got to talk to him for a while. He's so nice. I was with my sister and a friend, and he answered our questions, signed some stuff, gave us his e-mail address, and granted us an iterview for a 'zine that never happened..... It was great. He's so gracious and down to earth. Another reason he's my favorite author.
