Those three you liked were some of my favorites in the series. I like the next collection of short one-offs, too (I think it's called World's End).
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wait, I only liked two: "Three Septembers" and "The Hunt." I didn't really like "Thermidor" that much, but it was better than "August."
And World's End is one-offs? Heh, I thought it was a plot spoiler.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is World's End the one that has "Ramadan"? I love that one.
I'm going to have to reread now.
The book of short stories is called The Sandman: Book of Dreams. Stories by Tad Williams, Gene Wolfe, Caitlin Kiernan, Susannah Clarke, and several other people.

I was thinking of the one with the Prez story. But I think now that I have the name of the collection wrong. And, yeah, Ramadan was great.
Sorry I misunderstood, P-C. "Thermidor" stuck with me more than many of the other stories.

No, that's at the end of this one. Ooh.
Oh, dammit! Clicking that link spoiled me for the identity of the missing D.

Now that I think about it, there's a major plot spoiler at the end of the book, so don't read it out of sequence.

It's okay. What's in a name?

Oh, I don't plan to. I'm reading in order.

Madame, what you said to her was "squid", not "good morning".
Speaking of order of reading, where do "Death: the high cost of living", "Death: the time of your life", and the book about Goldie the gargoyle (when Goldie leaves the brothers--can't remember the title) fit within the 10 (?) volumes of the collected Sandman?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I keep seeing new posts here and rush over, hoping it'll be DC OYL stuff.
Bah.
