amnesiackI attended Neil Gaiman's reading/signing on Tuesday and enjoyed myself immensely. He's a witty, engaging speaker in addition to being an adept live reader. Jason and I were there a little later than we had wanted to be, but we had some good conversation as we waited for our group number to be called for the signing portion of things. There were upwards of 800 people in attendance, so I count us as being lucky to be in the 201-300 group.
I liked Anansi Boys a lot, by the way. I read it a couple of weeks ago, within the first few days of it coming out. It's a book that largely aims to be humerous but still manages to be dark and entrancing at the same time. Overall, on the Gaiman novel scale, I'd put it above American Gods, below Stardust, and on par with Neverwhere.
Cheers.
