Neil Gaiman - A Book a Month for a Year "Buddy Reads"

[Nicole]

It like a peek, or a look. Aussie slang, apparently :)

I would love to join inif it's okay to start so late. I've read two of his books so far and absolutely loved them!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sure, Tonya. Join us. Welcome.

Oh really? More short stories?! I'm not sure I can cope :o
(My least favourite thing to read!)

So I just reread what I posted on the 22nd, and realized my phone autocorrected my sentence into nonsense. Thanks for that, technology.

I meant to say "predating" not "preparing."

teehee

[Ashley Marie]

Either that or I need to go to the Zoolander school for kids who can't read good and want do other things good too.

Haha! Oh it's been a while since I watched that movie. Maybe I'll do that again this weekend ;)

I know we aren't planning on it currently, but does anyone else want to read an issue of Sandman once a month, rather than stopping after the first one?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Tempting.... maybe I'll see how I go with Vol 1 first (although I have been told by a few people they get better as you read them....)

It 100% does. The first volume is a little weird, and then it gets incredibly good.

[Nicole]

I've read bits and pieces over the years. Looking forward to reading it in order.

I never read nothing of this series. But after read the first, knowing Gaiman style, I am confident that I would like read the others.

Do you mean one volume a month? Because reading one issue a month would take much longer. Just checking.

I would probably join a group read. I read Sandman a few years ago but I would like to read it again. I'd probably try to get them from the library, but if they weren't available to check out I wouldn't mind buying some of them.

edit: Since we're reading Mr. Punch, how about his other short comics, Violent Cases and Signal to Noise? Is anyone else interested in a group discussion about one of those?

[Nicole]

Sorry, yes, I meant one volume :)

This article was in my paper today about

Article: "The drop that became an Ocean"

News on the creation of an American Gods TV series is here

[Nicole]

They said something similar about it a year ago. Are you sure it's not a hoax?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

What? Something on the Internet may not be true? :o

There are a number of news sites that have reported it (Variety, UK Telegraph etc.). Here is the latest on the telegraph site

P.S Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me were two of my fave shows so it is a bit exciting this will be by the same producer :0
