All right. Have finished American Gods. Don't quite know what to think of the epilogue in Reykjavik and all yet, but okay--sign of a good read, that you keep thinking about it. Highly recommended

Nothing like getting a book signed by the man himself. NG's a fan's author. Not snobby but not overbearingly friendly either. And he's always tired (jetlagged?). I love how he squibbles. For the Vess-illustrated Stardust I gave to my baby sis as a birthday present he drew a girl and Mona Lisa-smile moon and star with a gold ink pen. He roxxxorz (: That autograph/drawing on your AG is awesome.
Sadly, of course, I've never been within 100 miles of Neil--my book was autographed in Croatia while he was on his book tour and Vladimir was interpreting for him. He had just finished translating AG a few weeks before that--actually, he just finished translating Endless Nights.
Norse god--big character in the book. It was one of those things that didn't mean anything to me until I'd read halfway through it and checked the front again.
Ah, I love Neil Gaiman's writing, too! I've read American Gods, Stardust, and Good Omens. (Btw, am I just imagining it or are they making a movie out of Good Omens?)
Sorry, no foot-stepping intended. Would be nice though - if they can make Harry Potter flicks, why not GO? (There is that Narnia movie in production last time I heard.)
Lucky you for having an autographed book. I'm going to read some of his fiction after I've worked my way through the Sandman library on the cheap. But since it has your seal of approval... Shallow note: I think Neil Gaiman's kinda hot. It's the leather jacket.
You're quite right about Neil Gaiman. He does make you want to write. And you are definitely in that good-read, gotta-see-what-happens-next category.
And I SO want to fly down there and break into your place and grab that book and run cackling into the night with it clutched to my chest, but as it would make future LJing kind of awkward, I'll just gawp at the picture.
