i suspect i should worry a bit

[hackthis_archive]

at some point last week i printed out my friend's page (i don't remember doing this), and on monday it was on my chair as my boss had found it. thankfully, it seems it was a rather tame day by LJ standards, but all day monday i had to fight an urge to hack into his computer and make sure he wasn't accessing my LJ. yikes.

and then yesterday he asked me if i had a web blog and i turned white - neat trick if you know me at all. i made idle conversation as i was want to do and he said that there had a been an article in newsweek about web blogs. guess who was reading all her back issues of newsweek last night to make sure it was all kosher and she wasn't in the shit?

sigh. oh well. no sense worrying about whatever.

question time: as i've never read a neil gaiman book in my lifetime, but am going to barnes and noble this weekend - if i was only going to buy one which one would you lot recc?

American Gods

I've read several of the Sandman graphic novels (not a comic reader as such) and they do indeed rock like a rocking thing on a rock. Listening to Rock'n'Roll and watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Coraline is an excellent kids' book - the sort of headfucking stuff that lingers in the brain long afterwards. Neverwhere was good, but not as good as I'd hoped & not as good as I felt it could have been. Good Omens is an absolute must - it's The Omen meets The Famous Five and it is a thing of hilarity.

But I'm presently reading American Gods , and it's a helluva good book and available all over the place - and probably more resonant if you're Stateside (whereas G.O. and NW are more resonant if you're UK-based).
