saw neil gaiman do a reading from american gods and then answer questions in a q&a this evening. was great! really wish i could someday pick his brain about character, world, and story building. doubt i'll ever get the chance, but tonight was amazing. hearing him read live was really something...i got chills during the first selection especially. lots of great stories and peeks into his mind during the q&a. :) came away with four signed books, too! (had bought the 10th anniversary author's preferred text version of american gods, then bought fragile things, the graveyard book, and odd and the frost giants.)

some authors

so, i told a friend i'd put up a list of authors that i like. here is a list in no particular order and just off the top of my head (for the most part).
