The answer to that last question... pure poetry. He's amazing.

as he gets older he looks more and more like the early drawings of Morpheus.

When I sat down to read Norse Mythology, I didn't stand up again until I finished the book. It was 250? pages or something. Not only is it a page turner, it is *the most* charming book I have ever read. It may have been written for children, but I get the impression that Neil never talks down to children. Norse Mythology is a beautiful book for ages 8 to 80.

I have yet to read one of his novels (this summer, hopefully this Christmas I will, I swear!), but I am becoming obsessed with this man. The interviews he gives are so insightful into his way of thinking, the writing process, the life of a writer. It's always quite interesting to see the author behind the stories you've heard about, giving their own personal accounts of what drives and inspires them.

Haha, thanks. Neil is truly inspiring here, but he always entertains naturally in interviews. Shows he is a straight up gentlemen.

Taiter is a nickname I've had for years, derived from my last name, just added the "Darth" because I like Star Wars and it was around the time the Darth Tater Mr. Potato Head came out. :)

Read Coraline and loved it, about 100 pages into American Gods (got it today) and loving it very much. Not sure which to read next yet but I'm sure I'll enjoy it whatever it is. Neil is a terrific author!

@JohnOnik3 Sort of. Not in a very obvious way, but it IS a fantasy book after all.

So I think Gaiman basically lifted the idea for "American gods" directly from Eddie Campbells "Deadface/ Bacchus", a story about how ancient gods in human form cope in modern society.
