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?

I'd suggest Neverwhere first, or perhaps Smoke and Mirrors (the kind of sample pack, short story, tell your friends about Nicholas Was over the holidays)
Coraline would be a good intro to his style, if you're running a bit short on cash (kid's book); Stardust is an interesting not quite kids/not quite adults book.

I do Love American Gods, but it might be a bit much to tackle for the first time N.G. reader. If you know anything about mythology, you can see the immense ammount of detail that is put in the book... I dunno, it might throw you off of reading his books. best build up to that one ;)
