Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman chats and reads from his wonderful short story collection Fragile Things.

Update: even if you don't care to hear the story he reads early on, I recommend the video anyway for anybody who appreciates intelligent and humorous talk about writing and fantasy and film making. Neil is always a delight to listen to.

Update: this is funny, check out the comments on this video. It seems that Neil is a real babe magnet.
Tori Amos on Neil.

I never heard of Neil Gaiman until this morning... the interveiw with him is hilarious...What a wit!
I look forward to reading as much of his work that I can get my hands on.
Thank you for introducing him to one of your avid blog readers.

His wit in his work is perhaps usually of a more subtle kind than in his interviews/talks, but it's there.
I recommend American Gods and Coraline.
Oh, and Good Omens which he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett is without equal. One of the funniest and most imaginative books you'll ever read, fantasy or not.

Man totally 100% of subject but...

I have and now currently with Domai.com which I think you own and run. Sadly I am far from impressed with it's reliability of delivering outstanding nudes. Has reliable as a Land Rover, your site has more downs then ups but it is those few up's that make it passable. I my self dislike Porn and Domai does not use this content tho it does not throw out it's style's, what? The Vulvar (Look this one up in the dictionary) is personal and an offense to many (Who know what is right and wrong.) when expose or shaven. See the whole idea of the females pubic hairs is a statement of maturity, from been a girl to a Woman. So to me and others shaven Vulvas are in-mature, it's like playing baby and to promotes "Pedophiles", why? Cause only little girls have no hair! But then some Women chose the path of in-maturity and in my world that means they can NOT show it in photo. But also a over grown pubic hairs look some times untidy. So in saying exposed Vulvas is Pornographic along with leg spreads and any thing else that is not lady like. Now from seeing you do not take all the photo's on your site so I can't point the finger at you completely but it does not mean I can't, man so photo's are just so off I can smell it, just like Land Rover's Quality control both of you are slack and cheap at times, hang on Land Rover is Ford now and better built but they still have problems like before just not has many. Domai on the other hand are like Series 1's Discovery's and Range Rover's, delivering a good product all the time just is not the case, just slap it together and out she goes not matter what. Out of all your photo's only 75 were good, that's 75 photo's out of 1,000. The $48AUD I payed for them and they are worth it but the other's WHAT THE? I'm like frack off how did you get pass security (Meaning allot of you're photo's.) ? Have any of these girls heard of Food? Man I could blow most of them away in the wind, they are like walking skin and bones just sick. Healthy? Yeah right. More like un-healthy. What's this to I see some girls that are disfigured, what a turn off. There is a curve standard to follow in which you need some retraining on, not every female is made to be nude, some just look better with clothes on then off. Think of a Woman's body like a new Asten Marton DB9, they have to be both sleek and seamless/smooth other wise they don't look good that reminds me no breast no go. You know don't expect to see me ever rejoin your site again for a wile cause there's better out there. See ya in a year or to.

(And I'm trying to get more non-shaven models, but they are really rare, oddly.)
