Were you (or Em) around for Fay's reading of Wolves in the Walls at the SF2F?
I think we left in the middle of it. Em has a copy of it that she loves.

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."

She might be a little young for Coraline now, but if she likes Wolves, chances are she'll like his others.

Another fun Gaiman book (in collaboration with Terry Pratchett) is GOOD OMENS.

Good Omens! Of course. I think I may have read that one even before Sandman.

Hee! My co-worker just told me I'd like Good Omens, too. I didn't pick it up cause of the Terry Pratchett thing cause I tried to read Pyramids and one of the witches books and couldn't get into it.

I couldn't really get into Pratchett either but I loved Good Omens, fwiw.
Have you read the Sandman? Not a novel, obviously, but a very good story nonetheless.
