Does anyone here like Neil Gaiman's books or graphic novels? My favourite book by Neil Gaiman is American Gods, what's yours?

I read a collection of short stories that I really enjoyed.

Really liked "Other people": http://holdinghandswithhades.edublogs.o ... il-gaiman/

Enjoyed American Gods and Neverwhere.

Some of his stuff reminds me of Clive Barker. Such as his Coraline and Barker's The Thief of Always.

Or Neverwhere and Weaveworld.

I was delighted to see him interviewed on the Lovecraft: Fear Of The Unknown documentary, as well as on The Simpsons. 8)

I loved American Gods :) But I enjoyed Gaiman's short story collections "Smoke and Mirrors" and "Fragile Things" even more. There are some real gems in there. My favorite story is Chivalry, which makes me cry every time I read it. Even though it's a lighthearted and humorous story. It's the part where the old lady refuses the apple that gets me.
