16.Jun.2010 The Sandman Vol 3: Dream Country by Neil Gaiman
I wonder how many Sandman I should read before I “get” it. I liked Dream Country a tiny bit more than the first two, but still not as much as I would’ve liked. People say the series gets better from the third series and above, that’s why I continued reading. In this third volume, the [...]
21.Mar.2010 Short Saturday: Gaiman, Jackson, and Gilman
In Short Saturday I will journal my journey to find 5-star quality short stories, whose virtual trophy right now is held by Truman Capote and Haruki Murakami.
