1/Neil Gaiman. He signed my copy of The Graveyard Book. The woman in front of me had brought all the volumes of The Absolute Sandman with her for him to sign. I said that I loved mine but would never have brought them. He said, “I know! They are so heavy!” And they truly are — beautifully made with gorgeous paper and inks though.
2/ many times. It‘s why I got LibraryThing to catalog my books.
3/ maybe Rivendell in Middle Earth

Eggs Ack! Neil Gaiman! I‘m afraid I would blither out some unintelligible gorp-speak, but wow that must have been amazing!!!! 1y
KathyWheeler @Eggs It was amazing. 😊. It was the year he won the Newbery Award for The Graveyard Book so he was at the American Library Association conference. 1y

It's going into show season, so we've been super busy, but I have managed to get some reading done. Right now I'm re-reading the Sandman books before I watch the show.

Our big news is that we accidentally got a new reading buddy. This is Crumpet, a year old tordico stray that had decided being a house cat is awesome. She's already joined #KAL and enjoys napping on my arm when I'm trying to read, and annoying her brothers.

My spouse has been on me to read Sandman for ages and I'm finally getting to it courtesy of their giant tomes. Loving it so far.

Mehso-so

Unique, interesting story. Gory and dark, for sure. I expected dark but too dark for me in several instances. I didn‘t know Neil Gaiman wrote comics until I saw this on a graphic novel list. Cool twist at the end about Death. The Sandman/Dream is a cool character. Might read the sequels.

A power hungry occultist tries to capture Death, but summons her younger brother, Dream/Morpheus instead. Dream is ruler of the realm of Dreams and Nightmares. After 70 years of imprisonment, Dream escapes and goes on a quest to reclaim his stolen items.
I loved everything. The magical and dark plot. The trippy art. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5.

I just found out The Sandman series is going to be released on audible in July... and the cast is pretty amazing. I‘m intrigued to see how well this comic series translates to audio. I‘m here for it, tho!

You can check out full cast here:

What a quick turnaround! Yesterday internet news outlets were all like “Hey, Sandman might become a Netflix show, but it will most likely fall apart like all the movie attempts, right guys?” and today the headlines are more “Um, it looks like this is actually a for real thing that is happening.”

I can‘t conceive of how this series could be placed into a little 8-13 episode box, and I don‘t envy those whose job it is to try.

Courtesy of io9.

Katerina I'm sceptical as well. I would have said that Sandman is unfilmable. Let's hope I won't be proven right. Gaiman is part of the project at least and I hope he has enough pull to prevent any major disasters. 5y

Busting out this tome for this weekend's #24in48 readathon!
I fell in love with this book a good few years ago when it took my breath away in a book store. I spent some of my rent money on it (too much, actually!) but it was totally worth it. The stories and artwork are stunning.
I can't wait to start...

Those of you who follow my sagas closely enough may have pieced together that I traditionally eat like a 5-year-old whenever my husband is out of town. Tonight I had specifically planned a romantic poptart dinner date with Sandman - but SOMEONE who lives off of salad with no dressing all day because he‘s on some kind of medieval diet got to them before I had a chance. AND drank all the milk! 😡 So I guess it‘s raw cookie dough and rum tonight!

hgrimes (cont...) Our water was just cleared of e. coli today (finally!!), so the raw cookie dough seems like a logical next step. 6y
hgrimes Addendum after a thimble of rum: Hopefully 5-year-olds today do not consume rum, but what do I know! 6y
JPeterson I just want to say you are my hero, and both cookie dough and/or pop tarts sound delicious for dinner (with the rum, of course!) 6y

We have some big, big books in our collection. The Hobb books we buy in Hardcover, because we love them so much and we have to get them right away. I haven't read the Sandman comics, myself, that's my husband's thing, but I bought the Absolute Sandman collection for his birthday a couple of years ago.

Dave McKean created #crazycovers for every issue of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.

Good people of Litsy, I say this not to be rude, but to encourage you to read one of the greatest works of literature I have ever read:

If you love Neil Gaiman, but haven't read Sandman, you've got business. #marchintoreading
