    The answer to that last question... pure poetry. He's amazing.

    as he gets older he looks more and more like the early drawings of Morpheus.

    My boyfriend introduced me to Neil Gaiman's works...LOVED American Gods!

    Haha, thanks. Neil is truly inspiring here, but he always entertains naturally in interviews. Shows he is a straight up gentlemen.

    I have yet to read one of his novels (this summer, hopefully this Christmas I will, I swear!), but I am becoming obsessed with this man. The interviews he gives are so insightful into his way of thinking, the writing process, the life of a writer. It's always quite interesting to see the author behind the stories you've heard about, giving their own personal accounts of what drives and inspires them.

    Taiter is a nickname I've had for years, derived from my last name, just added the "Darth" because I like Star Wars and it was around the time the Darth Tater Mr. Potato Head came out. :)

    My little cousin and I are currently reading your book "The Graveyard Book". It is fantastic!

    There's nothing like being a writer. I've always felt it's the closest thing I could ever get to growing wings a soaring high.

    Read Coraline and loved it, about 100 pages into American Gods (got it today) and loving it very much. Not sure which to read next yet but I'm sure I'll enjoy it whatever it is. Neil is a terrific author!

    Neil Gaiman is just a good hypnotist. He's a very talented manipulator.

  • @FirstLast-qb9iq
    @FirstLast-qb9iq Před 6 lety

    So I think Gaiman basically lifted the idea for "American gods" directly from Eddie Campbells "Deadface/ Bacchus", a story about how ancient gods in human form cope in modern society.

    Can you imagine? He'd be all "What the Fuck?" Then proceed to write thousands of poems and short stories about it.
