Status Updates From The View from the Cheap Sea...

In addition to Neil's love letters to books, I also really enjoy his tributes to different authors and others in his life. Neil has a way of talking about someone honestly, but bringing to the fore the most shining parts of the person. He does this thru self-depracating comparisons to himself, personal anecdotes, and awed references to the subject's work. His interview of Stephen King was also pretty great.

I'm enjoying these essays and speeches by Neil Gaiman. He's got some very profound things to say about the way stories and reading and writing affect us as individuals and society. I enjoy the ones about reading the most, probably because I am not a writer.
