Now that I've read Stardust, and fallen completely in love with it, I am truly scared of the movie. Even if they do a good job, it won't look like it does in my head.

And the end is so happy and so sad at the same time. Waaaaah! *snif*

So, Gaiman: I've read Good Omens, American Gods, Neverwhere, and Stardust. *le sigh* I love it all. Want more. *lol*

Dinner: Pasta, frozen broccoli, "cream" sauce (made exactly like normal cream sauce--margarine instead of butter, soymilk instead of milk) with Italian Seasoning and a bit of nutritional yeast. Way fast and cheap and yum.

Did you read the Stardust illustrated by Charles Vess? If not, you should definitely page through our copy sometime soon. Vess' vision is spectacular, and it's definitely how I see it in my head.

It's still my favorite Gaiman book. If you're looking for another, grab Coroline.

Anansi Boys (can't remember if you read it already or not, but it's not in your mini-list), The Books of Magic, Sandman...

I love Neil Gaiman to tiny bits.

Hey there...I went to At Mahan in Keflavik circa 1988. When did you go?

I'm not sure I know that one; but it sounds familiar. hmmm... *goes to look it up*
I'm still reeling and ambivalent about them making a movie version of the Celestine Prophecies. Not sure if I wanna see that or not! If they ruin that bit about the Birth Orgasm of the Universe, I will be SO miffed!!! That like, INSTANTLY became a part of my personal mythology!
