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

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.
