I should not have read this book in one go..

This is a lovely book, truly. But with the release of Norse Mythology, the author's new book, I found myself wanting to get through it. I should have just put it aside after the first part - about libraries, reading and youth - and picked it back up later. I think I would have appreciated it a lot more then.

The work is sorted wonderfully, providing more insight into the author's thoughts and world views. There are funny bits and odd bits and heartfelt, painful bits. Neil Gaiman is my favorite author and I believe that I will be coming back to some of these nonfiction works later. It has introduced me to authors unknown (or well known, but unread to me) and provided me with background to some of my favorite books. All in all, I have nothing but praise for this book. But I shouldn't have read it in one go :)
