Well done, Mr. Gaiman! Those of you that don't read his works really ought to get started. I recommend Smoke and Mirrors as a good starting point... with American Gods as the follow-up. :P Ah… Well done, Mr. Gaiman!

Great book in my opinion. I have been following his work since. Off topic: On Amazon.com I noticed that there are an awful lot of Christians criticising 'american gods' on the comments page, because they say should not imply that america has more than one god!!!!!! Some people in this world take themselves far too seriously. I became familiar with gaiman when someone recommended “american gods” to me. Great book in my opinion.

Deconstruction/defamiliarization of fairy tales (because I grew up watching the Disney-fied versions)? I'm there! :) reCAPTCHA: $110,000 please I’m not a follower of Mr. Gaiman (as in, I haven’t really read all of his works, but I occasionally read his blog), but I’ve read “Snow, Glass, Apples” for my contemporary lit class (we were reading the many evolutions of the story of Snow White) and I loved it!

Off topic: A friend of mine met Gaiman and said he was incredibly nice. It makes me happy to hear that folks I admire aren't jackasses in real life (or at least not in front of their fans, anyway).
