Indeed. I decided to read some Sandman last night, and so many things came back to me. It's such brilliant stuff.

my sandman books sit in a place of honor on the bookshelf that you see when you walk in the door...

i always wanted to be delirium more than death

As they should be.
How can you not love Delirium? Her story might be the most tragic of the Endless.
I wanted to be the dream king.

death having to live one day every 100 years is always a tearjerker.

though i've always hoped that there would be a short series on delirium...possibly even telling the tale of how she changed from delight.

gaiman is *amazing*

He rocks my world. American Gods picked up the Hugo recently as best book of the year, and I was so pleased.

I've yearned for the backstory for Delight/Delirium forever. I'm tempted to write fan mail begging for it. ;)

Re:

and i *never* write fan mail

He seems quite friendly about his mail, so I'm sorely tempted. Perhaps I will do that this week.

I never write fan mail either. The only exception being the random postcards I mailed to WS Burroughs when I was a teenager. *sigh* I hope he liked them.
