TieDyeDude I believe I listened to the audio when I was commuting on a train to work. I remember liking it very much (one of the many books I'd like to revisit). Enjoy! 2mo
Cheshirecat913 Love this book so much. 2mo
Darklunarose @Illuminaughtydenaughty I think he is a pretty awesome human being. I‘d love to listen to his works, but it takes me forever to finish an audio book! I have been listening to my current one for over two months, in dribs and drabs! 2mo

Classically, the BBC version of Neverwhere is just **chef‘s kiss** in that classic BBC kind of way. Currently, His Dark Materials is SERIOUSLY good.

Neverwhere is my favorite book by Neil Gaiman. I especially love the audiobook read by the author. I have listened to this book countless times. When I can‘t get to sleep, the story and Neil‘s voice transport me away from circling thoughts and help me to drift off. It‘s a story about friendship, finding where you belong, and about people who fall through the cracks. #alphabetgame #letterN @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

When I saw today's prompt I immediately thought of Gaiman. His books tend to be bizarre, but in a good way. These are my favorites books by him.

Eggs Read all of these but I ❤️❤️ Neverwhere❤️❤️ 2y

It‘s Friday the 13th and the stage is set. 20 minutes until I get to see my favorite author live and in person for the first time. I can think of no better place to be right now. No signing line but signed books were available for purchase and I picked up a few of my favorites…So. Excited.

#Two4Tuesday

1. Tagged (my absolute fav)…and—Coraline, Stardust, Uprooted, Autonomous, Middlegame, Gallant, Dune, Graceling, Outlawed…so many good books!

2. 🤔 I think they often leave more to the imagination which is fun. And they‘re often easier to remember which is a definite plus!

#Two4Tuesday

1. Absolutely depends on my mood. Weather can be an influencer—stormy or wintery weather will often have me reading slower, immersive stories. Good writing can also cut right through my mood & make me change my mind about what I “think” I want to read

2. For me, the tagged book is practically perfect in every way. Such a great story.

@TheSpineView

Happy Tuesday everyone! Here are the #Two4Tuesday questions for today. Enjoy!

My answers:
🎃 Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (not sure I will get to it this year) and I like to The Great Pumpkin to my grand kids.
🎃 No. I am just too rural and my drive is long and dark. Yet I always have candy on hand just in case.

Want to play?

@Reggie @Ruthiella @wanderinglynn @Rissreads Guys Neil is So Lovely. I think I have an author crush now 😍😍😍

Still not enough to make me queue for hours to get my book signed. Well I probably would have but my teenager would have murdered me so I took the more cautious route. I am going to get his latest tome though which is the Neil Gaiman Reader - kind of a Best Of from his career.

Scochrane26 So cool! 3y

Reggie I totally understood this. When I went to go Joe Hill, I loved his talk but when I figured I‘d be in line for close to 2-3 hours my stomach won out and I just went somewhere where I could eat and read his new book. Glad you enjoyed his event. 3y

This is my 4th book by Neil Gaiman which I read because I‘m going to a talk by him next week. In real life! So excited!
I loved this book. It feels written for a younger audience - it‘s fast moving and the chapters aren‘t very long - but on the other hand it‘s also really dark. The villains are terrifying in my opinion! Yes they crack jokes, but at the same time they‘re pure evil - I thought Gaiman did a great job of making my skin crawl -⬇️

Centique as he also did with Coraline. I loved that you‘re thrust into a complicated world - London Below - along with our hapless protagonist Richard, with no explanation of how it all works, and it‘s both disorienting and wildly imaginative and thrilling. If you want a couple of days on a fantastical roller coaster - this is it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3y
Ruthiella Wow! How is it you are going to talk to him? Will it be online or in person? 3y
emz711 What's been your favorite one? 3y

Centique Oh I‘m not talking!!😂😂Sorry for the confusion. He‘s giving a talk. That might be a term you don‘t use. We have no Covid at the moment (closed borders for over a year now) so we‘ve started having live events again. So this is at a conference centre. @Ruthiella (edited) 3y
Centique @emz711 that‘s tricky! I think maybe American Gods but it was so long ago that I read it! 3y
bookseller_cate I was luckily enough to see Gaiman in person a few years ago. You‘ll have a great time! 3y
wanderinglynn I also saw Gaiman a few years ago. I enjoyed his talk enormously. 3y
Ruthiella @Centique No, I just misread the sentence. 😂 3y
Cathythoughts That‘s very exciting!! Enjoy 3y
erzascarletbookgasm How thrilling! 🤩 I really enjoyed this book too. 3y
LazyOwl This was my first and is my favourite Gaimen 💕 3y

I don‘t usually feel bad for bailing on a book, but this one has me in bits! The characters are charming, the universe is original, and the plot intriguing.

I dno?
As it is, I‘m just a bit lost, and reading this feels like a chore. The writing feels rly old school, as does the humor, and maybe that‘s it. I‘d prob love the tv show version of this story tho!

Sorry Neil, you‘re brilliant, but perhaps my timing is off.

I woke up feeling so anxious and terrified this morning. Election day is here. I actually started using litsy regularly during the last election, because I found this bookish community so comforting. I'm bringing in a favorite book with me to work today, because it's always easier to face scary things with a friend by your side. 💕📚 Sending so much love and light to my litsy family today. Hang in there, everyone!

After Richard Mayhew returned to London Above in the end, he realises that he is not satisfied with the normal world, and wants to return to London Below. With a last line like that, I really wished Gaiman writes about Richard‘s further adventures in London Below. Last line in the comments. 👇

It's been quite a week. After an accident involving my sister caused me to post my package way late, her continued need for monitoring didn't allow me to return home until tonight. @Ctimmer this gift has been both lovely and timely. I am looking forward to the escapism of the novels, and the balance of letting go that the Buddha board will give.

Merry Christmas fellow Littens. @BookishMarginalia

Metaphors failed him, then. He had gone beyond the world of metaphor and simile into the place of things that are, and it was changing him.
