Ooh, this whole post sounds delicious.

Every time (every! Really!) I read something by Neil Gaiman, I have to stop and say, goddamn this guy has read everything.* It's great, really, because he serves as an endless great reccer as well as a provider of great story.

*Example. The fleeting mention of the King in Yellow is the same kind of tantalizing stuff - at least to me, since I'd never read the book.
