If I were to read one Neil Gaiman book, which would you recommend?
Sandman: Dream Country 🙂 (Sandman series is BRILLIANT!)
The Graveyard Book
Yes! The Graveyard Book! ☝☝☝
Stardust!
Neverwhere
Angels & Visitations.
American Gods
The ocean at the end of the lane.
American gods was great! And good omens
Ocean at the End of the Lane
Stardust
I would recommend Stardust.
Stardust
Good Omens! I had a smile on my face the whole time while reading it ?
Smoke and Mirrors
Just one? Neverwhere, easily.
There are some that I like more (American Gods) and some that have a more distinct style (Stardust, Good Omens, Coraline), but Neverwhere is probably the best overall example of his writing style.
Like, you might or might not love Stardust, or Good Omens, or Coraline, but reading any of those wouldn’t really give you a good feel for his writing overall. Whereas if you like Neverwhere, you can be pretty sure you’ll like most of his work.

@Brandi have you listened to the audiobook version of good omens?
No, i read the physical version. I kind of want to though because i think listening to it, i might would get even more hilarity from it
@Brandi it’s amazing!!! It’s like listening to a radio drama!! Check it out if you get a chance!!

American Gods
American Gods had a profound effect on my development. I adore that book.
Good omens. I love that book!
Thought about picking this one, but didn’t because it’s co-authored. Still though, one of my favorites.
I know, but it has such a dry humour that it’s still my favourite. And I like t h e fact that Neil was a superfan for terry before he was published /started writing.
Fair points. I have a bookshelf headboard on my bed, and it’s one of the books that sits there.
My copy is autographed by Pratchett, but not (yet) Gaiman.
I once read somewhere that he loves signing that book because most are crinkly, stained, or cracked and he likes to see that people read it so often.
Maybe you could send an email or so to ask if you could send it by mail and have it sent back? He seems like he would appreciate someone crazy enough to ask it?
@Victoria that’s an amazing idea, and worth a try! If he actually goes for it, I’ll find this thread again and send you a photo!
Very cool! ?
Neverwhere or Stardust
Coraline
