What are you reading?

[Catrin]

I wouldn't say it makes any difference which order you read them in, but they're quite different. American Gods is pretty heavy going compared to some of the others. I didn't like it that much first time around, but after having read his lighter and easier stuff like Stardust and the short stories I appreciated it much more and read it again. "Ocean" is my favourite so far, and the Graveyard Book, childrens book or not :-)

This is good to know, and I think I've read some of his short stories over the years. I almost checked out the Graveyard Book before Neverwhere and will read that and Ocean next. There appears to be a book that Gaiman and Pratchett collaborated, trying to find a copy of that one

The collaboration between Gaiman and Pratchett is called Good Omens and it is HILARIOUS. I actually re-read it this past fall.

I enjoyed The Ocean at the End of the Lane too, but I think American Gods is my favorite of what I've read of his. Didn't care so much for Neverwhere, haven't read Stardust but considering the movie I'd like to get around to reading it, also enjoyed his collection of short stories called Fragile Things.
