message 234: by Susan

Susan I'm in the middle of my third reading (well, actually listening on CD) of Good Omens. So, you might say, I like it.

Thank you for wrestling with the blank page and computer screen. My life is richer because of you.

And thank you for Graveyard Book, Neverwhere, Stardust, Coraline (loved the movie btw) and Blueberry Girl, too.

Neil I wanted to point everybody at http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1221698.Neil_Gaiman/blog/729811-a-modest-proposal-that-doesn-t-actually-involve-eating-anyone which is my suggestion for something that we can all do this Hallowe'en season...


message 232: by S.

S. Qiouyi Lu Thank you for the add! I've been going through all of your books; my favorite is still American Gods, which I reread recently. I was still thinking about it over the next couple of days. I've been gearing up to do Nanowrimo, so reading your books has helped inspire me and get me in the mood to write like the wind. :)


Elizabeth Thank you for adding me to your friends list. You are not only one of my favorite authors, you are one of my favorite people!


message 229: by Robert

Robert OK, so when are you going to convince the Tolkien estate to let you do a graphic novel version of 'The Silmarillion?' If you decide to give it a go, I'll set up the facebook lobbying page ;). (Only half-joking)

Best, Neil!

message 224: by Morgan

Morgan I just read the comment that you did a Doctor Who episode...I can't believe I didn't know this. Doctor Who is my favourite show EVER.


message 223: by Jenn

Jenn Yay! I'm glad to be your friend. Hope to meet you IRL someday. Thank you for all you've written, esp "The Sandman" and "American Gods". I look forward to watching your Doctor Who episode!


message 222: by Neil

Neil If you're in New York this week, try and see Amanda Palmer, Jason Webley, Sxip Shirey and, of course, Evelyn Evelyn at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on Christopher Street. It's a wonderful evening (I got to see the proto-show in Europe, and the finished one in Minneapolis last week).

message 221: by Neil

Neil I just learned that Instructions Instructions by Neil Gaiman is in its Fifth week on the New York Times Bestseller list, and wanted to say thank you to everyone on GoodReads who got it for themselves or as a gift...

Here's the video, if you haven't seen it, showing Charles Vess art going from pencil to paints, and me reading over it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWRvqO...


message 220: by Brian

Brian J.M. Barley noticed you added me as a friend. I'd like to say thanks, and that I look forward to reading more of your works!


message 219: by ak

ak What my media teacher wrote in my yearbook:

"All hail Neil Gaiman!"

Hear, hear! Hooray for the teacher who leant me American Gods, and hooray for Neil Gaiman!

message 218: by Morgan

Morgan Neil,
So I admit, not all of your books have been my favourite, but I'm completely in love with Fragile Things and Good Omens, so I'm going to give more of your stuff a try this summer. You're an incredibly unique writer, and I love that. I thought you should know that I got tired of checking out Good Omens from the library and went ahead and bought my own copy...it's already bent and well-read.
Keep it up, Neil!

Love,
Morgan

Neil I wrote a piece about Ray Bradbury, who will be 90 this year, in the Times: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.u...


message 216: by Lilly

Lilly Hi Neil,

I'll be frank and admit that I haven't read any of your books (yet). I added you as a friend when I learnt that you'd be writing for Series 6 of Doctor Who. I'd heard of you before this, but as a big fan of DW, I'm now more determined than ever to read some of your work. So far I've been impressed that you take the time to chat to your fans. Really looking forward to see what you write for Doctor Who.

All the best,

Lilly.

Rai Hi Neil,

You are a hero to the world of books!!

message 214: by Amy L.

Amy L. Campbell Mr. Gaiman,

I want to sincerely thank you for supporting librarians right now during this difficult time. It's hard to fathom why libraries are one of the things being cut right now when so many people need them, but then I suppose it's easier to complain about things that "aren't necessary" for the public when you have access to them. As a recent library graduate who is looking for work I especially value your contributions to the profession and the institution. I hope to see your continued support, and maybe some new supporters along with you.

Sincerely,

Amy Campbell
Bowling Green, Ohio

message 212: by Nicholas

Nicholas Kakavoulis Papadimitriou Well, it's my turn to thank you for accepting my friend request. Actually it came as a shock to me, I did not think you would actually bother to read and reply to all those messages, being both a caring father and a really busy writer. It seems that you manage your time really effectively, and i envy you for that as well!
I really have to congratulate you on your collaboration with Mike Mignola. He is a favorite of mine, and I adored his variant cover of The Dream Hunters comic issue. His style is nothing similar to Yoshitaka Amano's, but I think it gave the story another perspective, crude but pleasing nonetheless!
I hope to see yet another dark, but drop-dead hilarious project of the two of you, in the near future.
Oh, and one last thing. I know you have many fans here in Greece, but I fear they're not remotely enough for you to come over and have a book signing in our country. Is there some other way that I could get an autograph of yours? It would mean a lot to me, for I'm aspiring to someday become a writer myself.
I hope that my longer-than-usual message and my mediocre use of English did not tire you.
Thank you Neil Gaiman, for sharing your world with us.

This reminds me of a good friend of mine's quandary, in high school in the 80s. She felt she couldn't wear her favorite fingerless black lace gloves anymore after Madonna made them popular. I reminded her that to eschew something because it's popular is as stupid as choosing something because it's popular! Either way you're letting others dictate your taste.


message 209: by Dani

Dani Thanks for accepting my request as well. I think it's very refreshing that you are so accessible. Love it!!


message 208: by Caroline

Caroline Niziol Te amo! No matter how many friends or followers you have.

Neil. Don't listen to Maria for a second! You are the best! I love your work. I own all of your novels in beautiful hardback copies (except for Good Omens, I have the paperback cuz I got it signed by you and Terry). You are exceptional and i hope you keep writing me fantastic stories! thank you for entertaining me, Lindsey


message 206: by Amy

Amy Thank you for accepting my friend invite!

I loved the movie adaptation of Stardust.

message 205: by Ronyell

Ronyell Hey!! Thank you so much for accepting my friend invitation! I am a huge fan of your works and I really loved the books Coraline and The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish the best! Also, I saw your movies Coraline and Stardust and they were fantastic!

I agree with Mr. Gaiman.

I think it's wise to like what you like because you like it, and not to be swayed by what other people like or don't, think or don't think.


message 202: by Rai

Rai Hi Neil,

I just recently saw the movie version of Coraline & it was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well done!

Your friend & fan,

Rai

message 199: by Meshach

Meshach Gray Hello there Neil Gaiman. I was watching a movie called Princess Mononoke and at the end credits I saw your name. Were you involved?


message 198: by Aaron

Aaron Just read Neverwhere and enjoyed it a lot. Reading the Graveyard Book now.


message 197: by Neil

Neil I was just tidying stuff up and feeling guilty for not having posted any reviews in a while, when I noticed that I was the #1 most-followed person on Goodreads.

I now feel REALLY guilty for not having posted any reviews in a while.

Most of what I'm reading right now is either obscure stuff about China or rather less obscure stuff about Scotland. Otta F Swire's "The Inner Hebrides and their Legends" , and "The Lore of Scotland: A Guide to Scottish Legends" by Westwood and Kingshill.

Adrianna [SypherLily] Thanks for accepting the friend request :] I just wanted to tell you how much I love your stories! They are amazing, as you are. I hope I get the privilege of meeting you someday!


message 194: by Anna

Anna Happy New Year!!!


Liander (The Towering Pile) Lavoie I was at your reading of Odd and the Frost Giants at McNally Robinson in Winnipeg, and it was awesome! You're definitely one of those authors who should do his own audio books, because you have a wonderful reading voice. I've never been so drawn into a story by someone reading to me.

It was great to meet you! :-)


Silver_Raven hey neil this is branden look me up some times i would love to get to know one of my favorite authors.

Hilda Hi Neil, thanks for adding me. I love your works! Have a great weekend.


Liander (The Towering Pile) Lavoie Oh my gosh, I just read on the McNally Robinson website that you're coming to Winnipeg! That's awesome! I haven't had the opportunity to meet many of my favourite authors.


Christine Turner November 10, Happy BIrthday

Dizin is a ski resort situated to the north of Tehran iran in the Alborz mountain range.

The huge Dizin ski resort was established in 1969 [1:]. The ski season in Dizin also lasts longer than European ski resorts(from December to May) because of its high altitude.[2:].

The highest ski lift ha reaches 3,600 m (11,800 ft), making it one of the 40 highest ski resorts in the world.
