The goal is definitely to go for "wonderful" and "fun" (rather than, say, "stressful" and "frustrating"). <br /><br />I think I can pull that part off - the having fun, I mean. Whether or not I'll actually finish a book... well, that's a whole different question. :) <br /><br />Happy Labour Day Weekend!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577252936639636125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670935301313488942.post-89350791168844522032013-08-29T21:51:00.900-04:002013-08-29T21:51:00.900-04:00Best of luck!

And I admire all the people I'm hearing about who traveled to see him! <br /><br />I'm sure you're not the only one who got a little tongue-tied when the moment came, but I'm sure he always gets the idea. :)<br /><br />I love Fragile Things. I don't own many short story collections, but there are so many wonderful things in that book. I should really listen to the audio version as well. Did you have a favourite?<br />Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577252936639636125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670935301313488942.post-34993385691318633662013-08-13T20:23:29.270-04:002013-08-13T20:23:29.270-04:00Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I've read The Graveyard Book but I haven't listened to him read it yet (I actually bookmarked mousecircus.com awhile ago and then forgot about it - thanks for reminding me!)<br /><br />It IS a lot of fun to be in a room of book lovers, isn't it? And that's fantastic that you took your daughter to see Neil Gaiman! How old is she?

My friend Rachael and I listened to his "Fragile Things" audiobook on our drive down from Oklahoma City to get psyched up. We even had a great time waiting in line, comparing our Doctor Who shirts to those of the fellow nerds around us. Inside the theater, we sat next to and chatted with Marc, who drove in by himself from Austin. He and I are now Twitter buddies. It's always a great experience to connect with other people over a shared love of someone's work.<br /><br />At the signing table, I had planned to tell Neil more than just "Hi!" and "Thank you," but I got a bit tongue-tied when he commented on my t-shirt. Rachael just couldn't stop saying, "Thank you so much! Thank you so much!" Neil's work means so much to so many different people, and I totally agree that he seems like an excellent human being. He is outrageously kind to his diverse fans, all shapes and sizes.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232284150150433104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670935301313488942.post-25037662897483077202013-08-13T12:03:58.174-04:002013-08-13T12:03:58.174-04:00Great article!

I love book signings because it's so much fun to be in a room (or line) with not only fans but book lovers. Have you listened to Neil read The Graveyard Book on http://www.mousecircus.com/videotour.aspx. I listened to this, a chapter a night, and was enthralled by the story and Neil's wonderful reading.Elvinagbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343739287942742762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670935301313488942.post-44836870864494320392013-06-24T12:36:02.615-04:002013-06-24T12:36:02.615-04:00Can't wait to hear all about it. :)Can't wait to hear all about it. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248662505320434618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670935301313488942.post-65980926261781417872013-05-20T09:05:29.493-04:002013-05-20T09:05:29.493-04:00My mum gave me a collection of Emily Dickinson whe...My mum gave me a collection of Emily Dickinson when I was a kid - I still love it. :) I'm Nobody, Who Are You? is one of my favourites. <br /><br />Beege has read everything by Shel Silverstein that she can get her hands on.
