Andrew65@Leniverse Better than me, I only got 5. 2018 New Year‘s Resolution, Read more Neil Gaiman.6y
LeniverseThat's a great resolution! Part of my plan too. I need to read more Sandman. And I need to reread Good Omens before the tv-show. And I think it's time to reread Neverwhere as well. Oh, and my daughter got Odd and the Frost Giants in the #jryulebookswap so I'm swiping that as soon as she's finished. 😄6y
Andrew65@Leniverse Sounds like a great plan. Plenty to get our teeth stuck into. I want to read the book behind one of my favourite films,
LeniverseI saw Stardust before I read the book too. And while I like the book I prefer the movie. Especially Robert de Nero's character. He is barely present in the book. (Just as a word of warning.) Also, it is so clearly inspired by the work of Lord Dunsany, and no writer ever comes well out of a comparison with Dunsany. But it's still worth reading. (And if you like the writing style try Dunsany next!)6y
Andrew65@Leniverse Thanks for the advice. Robert De Niro did steal the film with that performance! Had me in stitches. Will have to try some Dunsany as never tried any of his work. It clearly provided a good base for the film. Over Audible‘s 12 days of Christmas I downloaded Norse Mythology for 99p so I want to listen to that too.6y
LeniverseI haven't tried his Norse Mythology. I've heard it's very well done, but as a Norwegian it just feels a bit wrong to read anything Norse in English. For Dunsany I recommend
