Quote: Chewy Walrus said: I liked Smoke and Mirrors. In my mind, it was a pretty generous sampling of the various styles that Gaiman is capable of - from horror to mystery to modern mythology to erotica. Gaiman is one of the twentieth century masters. When children sit in classrooms a hundred years from now, they will learn about Neil Gaiman...
I like Gaiman, for the most part - if for no other reason I will always consider him incredibly talented - one of the "twentieth century masters" as you put it - because of Sandman, but that said, Smoke and Mirrors just did nothing for me. If kids learn about him in your envisioned future it will be because of Sandman (and Death! Love her!) not because of Smoke and Mirrors or even American Gods...(which I liked)...
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
