listening to written words
I'm not sure about Marvel: 1602 winning the Quills award for Graphic Novel, given that it was up against the likes of Persepolis 2 and In the Shadow of No Towers - both of which I read cover to cover, and thought funny and engaging while I lost interest in 1602 early on, not bothering to buy the next installment beyond the second issue. Don't get me wrong, I'm not not a Gaiman fan, but he can't go around winning everything can he? And yet, I eagerly await my heavily discounted Anansi Boys in the mail and recently snapped up Now We Are Sick which has been out of print for ever so long. It doesn't really count since it was only edited by Neil and includes wonderful gruesome rhyme and nasty verse. Meanwhile, trying to finish up Chabon's Kavalier & Klay soon enough to make some reading room for Anansi which I feel I'm going to like much more than American Gods, and currently listening to a Neil interview podcast on NPR. Podcasts are like TiVo, but much more portable.
