Though I've never really been a fan of his writing, I've had a soft spot for Neil Gaiman ever since he linked to some work of mine elsewhere. Shucks. However, there's something about this entry at his blog that strikes me as a little bit redundant. He's celebrating its seventh birthday, and to mark the occasion, he's making one of his novels available free to read online for a whole month! Gosh! And he wants his fans to vote for which one it'll be, the one that should act as the best example of his prose work to someone curious, who hasn't tried any before. Hurrah!
Sorry to break the spell here, folks, but there is another forum where anyone curious can try all of Gaiman's prose for free, anytime, in the handy little reading machines called books. And believe me, they're still the best system we've came up with for delivering this prose stuff. It's the public library system. Give it a try sometime, kids. It's books, for free, all the time! And hey, we've got The Sandman, too!
