This book was so freakin' good. I couldn't put it down. Also, it got me through some stressful moments at the laundromat (don't even ask). Anyway this book was amazing.

I enjoyed Neverwhere. I even enjoyed the BBC production. Especially the actor playing the Marquis...

I've got it on DVD... I can't remember where I ordered it, but Gaiman does a commentary on every episode. I didn't recognize any of the actors except Laura Fraser, whose been in a few things, here as Door. The guy who plays De Carabas has an interesting presence; I like his take on the dandy/rogue.

Love that book! Have you read the Sandman series?

I've been giving Nick stuff to read and this was one of the books... He also loved it.

Have you tried Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem? I recommend it to everyone it's one of my favorites.

I haven't read the Sandman series--I'm supposed to borrow them from my friend Benjie at some point, though. I've never heard of Motherless Brooklyn, but I'll check it out!
