Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman

[Maple]

I love Gaiman and will relish any chance to read something of his I haven't had a chance to. Thanks to the challenge I am not reading Fragile Things, and I am really excited about the last story in this collection (The Monarch of The Glen). It's the short story that inspired Gaiman to write American Gods.

That was the one I picked for Short Story week as well! :D

I can't wait to hear what you think of it!

I really liked this book when I read it a few years ago. Some great short stories. I actually plan to re-read it sometime soon, because some of the stories are a little hazy in my memory. Although part of me wants to skip "Feeders and Eaters", because I do remember that story and it gave me nightmares...

I loved and hated this book at the same time. All of the stories were great, hence why I loved it, but I wish some of them had been longer or not ended on a cliff, which is why I say I hate it. They were good endings that keeping you thinking about them even after you close the book, which is partly what made it so good.

I finished this on a plane yesterday-which I thought was cool because my used copy had someone's flight info written in it :)
I really liked this book. All the stories were great and vaguely creepy, which was awesome. I agree with wishing some had ended more completely, but I also liked that I could create my own ending.

I am really struggling with finishing this. I think most of the stories are a little too creepy for me so I don't want to read it at night (which is when I read most of them, lol).
I think it is very well-written so far, just not my cup of tea :)

Delaying finishing this cause of a convention this weekend. Anyone else finish it?
