I haven't read any of his nonfiction aside from the introductions to his short story collections, but Neil Gaiman is the man, and I'm sure his nonfiction rocks.Grace @Bookswithoutanypictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926992766158099078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-67407639126651866822016-06-03T19:33:37.954-07:002016-06-03T19:33:37.954-07:00You won't be disappointed. :)You won't be disappointed. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-53145407907449299902016-06-02T12:54:49.530-07:002016-06-02T12:54:49.530-07:00I love Neil Gaiman, so I'll definitely be chec...I love Neil Gaiman, so I'll definitely be checking this one out.

And it means that when I finally try Gene Wolfe, I'll keep in mind that he might need a second read. Maybe we need a list of "better on second read" authors?Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-67595396361303874692016-06-01T17:51:33.075-07:002016-06-01T17:51:33.075-07:00I'd like to claim that I had already formulate...I'd like to claim that I had already formulated Jenny's Law in 2002, but that would be a lie frankly. In 2002 I was still figuring out that some of the DWJ books I'd tried and hated were actually super awesome if I gave them another go. But it's weirdly validating to know that there are other authors who are like this (in general) and that Gene Wolfe is one of them, because I have tried a couple of his books before and not loved them and wondered if he was just Not for Me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
