I read that for the first time a few months ago and LOVED it (first Gaiman I'd ever read, too). Then also had a pretty good time with American Gods.

On the other hand, the Neverwhere TV series from like 1992 is dreck.

Looks like everyone in the Greater New York Region is one step away from accompanying a ringbearer.

I am an abomination who still hasn't seen or read Dune and I was still getting concerned looks from coworkers while laughing aloud at this. Cheers as always

Frederik deBoer summed it up perfectly here (http://fredrikdeboer.com/2014/12/05/dear-very-serious-journalists/):

"The New Republic was never anything but a warmongering racist antileft trashpile and I hope the whole enterprise burns to the ground and if you are nostalgic about it you’re nostalgic for The Bell Curve, the war on Iraq, and Marty Peretz’s Muslim Hating Neo-Fascist Jamboree. The whole enterprise was corrupt right down to its colonialist bones and if some Facebook billionaire wants to turn it into Tinder For Politico Jagbags it could not possibly suffer in comparison. Shedding tears for Leon Wiseltier’s job is like worrying about what became of Stalin’s cat. I only pray for the day that your twisted obsession with Village bric-a-brac is performed by the unpaid interns that are the inevitable future of Big Media, which will be celebrated by you neoliberal clowns right up until some 17 year old earning nothing but 3 $9,000-a-credit-hour credits literally unplugs the keyboard from your workstation. Tell Stephen Glass I said hey and shut out the lights on your way out."

While people like JJ Abrams continue to murder my childhood, you, Mallory, continue to shine a light into its darker corners and recapture its joy. Thank you.
