IT IS SO BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS STEPH HOW THE FUCK DID ANY OF US MISS IT.
TWICE.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Neverwhere was also my first Gaiman. It's especially good for Anglophiles.

The status is NOT quo.
(True story: the first time I read it, I didn't see the Low-Key reveal coming. At all. And when it did, I smacked my forehead. And then the *second* time I read it, a few years or more had passed, and I 100% forgot about the whole Low-Key dealio. And once again, the reveal caught me by surprise, which made me smack my forehead even harder, because I ALREADY KNEW ABOUT IT but just plain forgot.)
HA! This is me, too!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sandman was my first Gaiman, a legacy from the boyfriend before Daniel.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I do not even remember what the Low-Key Reveal might refer to. I'll take that as my cue to re-read.

Hey. New board.
Can I assume we are discounting Good Omens since it is with TP? Because it was my gateway and is still my favorite.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Maverick rec: One of the Sandman graphic novels. Either Season of Mists or Game of You. Game of You, probably - weirdness factor at 11.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just re-read American Gods, and did the same thing wrt Low Key.
dcp, Low Key is Loki.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I have gotten fooled by Low Key at least twice as well.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's also the short stories. I think some of those might be available for free?
