Hello Mr. Gaiman,

I just finished reading The Graveyard Book and loved it! It's the first book written by you that I've read. Can't wait to read your other novels!

Thank you very much!

Dizin is a ski resort situated to the north of Tehran iran in the Alborz mountain range.

The huge Dizin ski resort was established in 1969 [1:]. The ski season in Dizin also lasts longer than European ski resorts(from December to May) because of its high altitude.[2:].

The highest ski lift ha reaches 3,600 m (11,800 ft), making it one of the 40 highest ski resorts in the world.

Dizin ski amenities include two hotels, 19 cottages and 5 restaurants, villas and private apartments around the Dizin ski resort accommodate thousands of people every year.

Thanks for adding me! I L-O-V-E your books. How did you think of the concept for Coraline? What about The Graveyard Book? I hear that it's being turned into a movie. I loved both the book Coraline and the movie. Especially the book, though. Well, anyway, keep writing, Neil!

Thank you so much for including me among your friends

I'm so sorry you're the most followed author. Makes me like your writing less.

*fangirls* XDDD I love your works!

Neil,

Loved The Eternals. Reminded me of American Gods with Marvel characters. Except those Marvel characters were in a really well-written story. :)

Just finished Vol. 1 of The Sandman comic. That was killer! I am completely blown away by how amazing it was! Great job, Neil XD

Thanks for the add comments - Hot Comments

Grats on the Hugo!

Congratulations for your Hugo Award Neil!!!

Dude you don't even know about me and Coraline....Whenever my cousin was with me, she would try to tell me the story, but her mom would get mad because she thought it was too scary for me. Whenever she would start over, I swear, my aunt had ears like a rabbit and would stop her from telling me the rest. I knew I was destined to read the book, so one day in sixth grade, I picked it up, then remembering that this was the story my cousin always used to tell me about. I thought it was great. And I'm not just saying that. This book was hardcore horror. When I realized there was going to be a movie, I went ballistic. Sadly I did not see the movie though. I think that someone should look into making it a real horror movie with people, and actually see the darker side of the story, instead of making it a movie for a more younger age. But who am I to speak?...I didn't even see it.

Just wanted to say I'm enjoying the Metamorpho story you're doing with Mike Allred in Wednesday Comics immensely.

Mission accomplished!

I'm excited to see you're going to be at ComiCon this year. And you're bringing Henry Sellick! Yay!

Thanks for accepting me into your circle of friends here on goodreads. I've read several of your books and I've loved them all. Neverwhere is one of my all time favorite books, I've read it several times and am sure to read it again. I hope to see The Old Firm again sometime in the future, Croup and Vandemar were just superb in every way.

The last book of yours I read was American Gods. I'm pretty sure I didn't put it down except to eat and sleep until it was over, quite enjoyable, and I expect to read it again soon. Anansi Boys has been on my to-read list for awhile, but The Graveyard Book has popped up on my radar of must-reads and has me excited, so I think that first, then Anansi.

I recently (like 10minutes ago) found out that you are a Roger Zelazny fan! I've read the Amber books more times then I can recall. In the bookshelf of my mind they are up there on the untouchable, legendary shelf and I've infected my friends with them as well. To date though, I've only come across two people who have heard of or read Zelazny's work - prior to my insistence that they do so in all haste. - (I have extra copies explicitly for this task.) I'm glad to know it's possible to bump into another Zelazny fan here and there. Though, I shouldn't be surprised, Neverwhere is up on the same shelf and has also had copies thrust into the hands of friends with demands to be read, and along with the amber books, was well received.

Anyway this is getting long, if you're still with me here, let me just say thanks for sharing your worlds with us. Authors like you, your worlds, and your tales that take place within them are what keep me sane...Ok as sane as a person can be. <g> You add enchantment to a world desperately in need of it. Thanks!

Thanks for adding me. I am reading my first book from you (M is for Magic) and I love it so far. My twin sister is a big fan of you, so I am lucky that there already more books from you in our household. Going to read "Stardust" next. Thanks for writing such great stories. ;)

I just read the Graveyard Book this evening. Holy crap was it good. I wish I saw the world through your eyes; as that is impossible I thank you for bringing your vision to us.

I am so very sorry for your great loss, Neil.

On a brighter note, I saw the Coraline movie, in 3-D, and loved it almost as much as your wonderful novel. What a magical movie based on an even better book.

Coraline is one of my favorite books EVER!!!!

Mr.Gaiman, Coraline is probably my favorite non-series book EVER!!!!!!!! It is the only book I've ever read that is creepy in a good way.

Derek, Goodreads isn't for advertising. Just saying. Unless you're you worked with him to make it or something, please don't for the rest of us.

Hello,

My new book The 9 Ghosts of Samen's Bane is available now at amazon.com. I hope you have a great day.

Hi Neil, thanks for adding me to your friends list. I love that you quoted from Salinger...!

I do hope you will consider reading my debut novel Paper Boats and would love to have your views on it.

I just started Marvel 1602 and it is wonderful! I cannot believe I only just found this since I love the Marvel universe and your writing. So far it is a match made for nerd heaven.

Thank you for being my goodreads friend! I work in a library and it's nice to be surrounded by book readers, writers and lovers. Viva la book!

Hi Neil!

I don't get to Goodreads nearly as often as I'd like because I'm writing my 4th book. In comparison, I just don't see how you have managed to pen so many fantastic stories! I would need a caseload of sangria and at least three more pair of progressively-stronger eyeglasses to do even a fraction of the same! LOLOL Anyway, I wanted to make sure and stop by and let you know that I am thrilled to be your friend here! Are you on twitter? My twitter name is: linc0lnpark

Have a fantastic day!

-L-

thanks for the friend add, Neil! i just read the other comments below and am sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. my deepest condolences to you and your family.

i love your books, especially stardust, the dream hunters, american gods and good omens (with terry pratchett). i'm halfway through the sandman series, taking my time savouring each volume. it'd be awesome if you wrote a sequel to stardust!

Took me only 1,5 days to read the Graveyard Book (finishing at 4:30 in the morning), and in all that time I was thinking: "Neil Gaiman should have written this book years ago, when I was a kid, because I would have LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this when I was a child".
The fact that I loved it as much now, being an adult, truly shows what a kid-at-heart I truly am. And I like this fact being reinforced.

Thank you.
P.S. Silas was the best.

Kudos on the Newberry Award! I have yet to buy The Graveyard Book though, but I'm sure you deserved the award well enough. I'll prolly buy it tomorrow.

I'm a really huge fan of Stardust, by the way. And the movie...what can I say? It's my all-time favorite.

I can't imagine what you must be going through. My friend's dad passed away recently too. If there's anything we can do...

My condolences.

Many, many condolences on the loss of your dad.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, I recently lost my grandmother, so I guess we're kind of in the same boat huh? I'll be sure to keep you and your entire family in my prayers!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, i wish i could do something to support you...

i guess i'll just have to go buy Angels and Visitations instead of getting it from the library. I'll also force everyone i know to read at least one story in smoke and mirrors and pray for you and your family...

sorry if that sounded creepy.

Coraline is a great book!

My husband got me into the Sandman series, and it just blows me away with every story. I LOVE this series. I love the characters you give us, the story lines are scary yet wonderful. I'm excited to go home from work every day just so I can read more of them. :) Now I'm off to see what happens next to Princess Barbara....Much Love to ya.

You are my favorite writer of all time. Sandman changed my life; Fragile things re-defined me.

Any advice for an aspiring writer?

Neil, I just finished The Graveyard Book seconds ago and am still drying my tears. The book is a treasure and I will cherish it always. Much Love

Thanks for adding me! I have loved everything that I've read of yours and I can't wait to read more. I really liked the first part of What Ever Happened to the Caped Crusader? and I can't wait for the next part.

Thanks for the add! I have been a fan of yours for YEARS, and am always keeping track of, and looking forward to your new books. I loved The Graveyard Book. The ending was very touching...

Just wanted to stop by and say hello!

Did I mention I saw Coraline and thought it was brilliant? Nearly as brilliant as the book,actually. I do have to say I really enjoyed the changes. I always find that movies that strive too hard to be exactly like the book tend to suck lots. But I thought the movie struck the perfect balance there, keeping the most important things and the whole tone, but making it much more visual and just making sure it was a great movie as well as being a good adaptation. Anyway, congrats on that, and of course to Coraline being pretty much the creepiest kids book ever (And one of the more awesome in general).

Hello, which of your books did you feel you wrote the best based on your perspective and not the fan's perspective? i am lookign for new books to read so i need choices. Thanks.

Thank you for adding me as a friend!

Thanks for the add, now I intend to pester you! You really need to get on those guys to make Good Omens into a movie! Tell them that there is a rabid fan base ready to eat them alive if they make us wait much longer!

Oh, and I have now seen Stardust about 10 thousand times, my 7 year old loves it.

Yikes, Neil! Coraline was creepilicious!

Congrats on the Newbery Medal! The acceptance speech ceremony at the American Library Association Conference is a big deal. Last year's speeches were amazing! Have fun crafting your speech for that, I'm sure it will be wonderful!
