I could be wrong but doesn't Neil Gaiman write in the children or teen genre? Not that it's a problem, I love his books. Especially in audio format with Neil Gaiman as narrator.
Amy S. --- Please do yourself a favor and try Gaiman's American GodsI don't think you'll ever think of him as just a YA or childrens' author again.

American Gods is going to be a HBO series, so you know its a book not for children or even YA.
I have read a couple of his books, I was just asking because that's how I've seen some of his books listed. Genres don't natter to me, I'll read just about anything

It should be interesting to see how they adapt it for TV
His children's books are Coraline and Graveyard book

He also has written a couple picture books.
Or read some of his short stories like Fragile Things - quite a few adult themed stories in there. I never thought of him that way, just a great storyteller. Neverwhere got me hooked.
Kevin - Good Onens was awesome! Loved that book! He did not do the audiobook but he does do most of his books - I like that!
I'm reading
and it is great so far. This is my third book by this author, and i love the way he writes.

The Caretaker by A.X. Ahmad--a goodreads win. A standard actioner, but with an unusual hero: an illegal alien from India who gets caught up in international espionage. Deeceptively simple tale beautifully written.
Wow, I just finished The Circle Series by Ted Dekkar and just WOW. I read both the original and the alternate endings and I believe I like the original ending best. It really makes the series a "true circle" in all ways. What do you others that have read both endings think?

Still reading Duma Key. Loving it, but have been in the middle of moving so it's been hard to get more than a chapter or two in at a time.
I'm 3/4 of the way through Little Women and 1/3 through Les Miserables.Not only am I participating in the Goodreads 2013 Reading Challenge, but I clocked in a lower amount of books because, for the most part, I wanted to read more challenging/classic titles. These ones definitely count.

Reading Ru by Kim Thuy. It is her debut, originally published in France in 2009. Masterful. Also 300 pages into The Passage.

Amy, love The Passage so far... quite a change in tempo once part two begins, but I'm hooked. Not hearing great stuff about The Twelve
To be fair, I was reading it around the time that I was preparing for a move, and had changed positions at my job, so it could have been me. I've heard that the 2nd half is where it really starts to pick up, and I didn't quite get there. Maybe I'll pick it back up at some point and see.

Finished Rose Madder. Bit of a dubious ending. Wasn't keen on that, which was a shame because up until the last 100 pages it was brilliant. Started
it's class so far

I can honestly say that in this particular case, the movie is better, not that I would watch it again. The book itself is a bit tedious.
