Originally Posted By adizneeguy I just picked up a copy of Smoke and Mirrors yesterday. It is WAY down on my list of reads, but I judged the book by its cover and got it anyway.

Got a total of $200 credit and probably used half of that. A good day for me!

"Song of Susanna" hits mass market in May, 2006. davewasbaloo: I like Neil Gaiman's novels and comics, but his short stories are really special. How are you coming with "Smoke & Mirrors"?

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I'm about half way through Smoke and Mirrors - like most of Gaiman's works, there are some really special pieces and some really creepy ones. It's been on hold for a little bit as I have been preparing my Disney trip and reading vast amounts on WDW.

You have to believe and THEN you'll have the favor of God. You have to see him on tv as he changed my life on 1/2/05 when I first saw him.

Have you heard anything about it? Man now I HAVE to read it just talking about it.
