Reading this summer
Gridgm:
are you saying his whole work is a "light reading" because neither sandman or american gods have a light tone as such and have a fair scale to them

I mean I love Gaiman (Stardust made me cry) but he is most definitely "light reading".

This.
I think what everyone is trying to say is that compared to a heavy handed piece of classic lierature like Ulysses, Gaiman's work is definitely a "light read". This does not mean that his works lack any sort of depth or tone. It's just a whole lot fucking easier to read because my fucking god, Ulysses.
Lines:
Yeah, I love Gaiman's work, but his books are rather light in terms of how challenging a read it is.
I think the first two books I will read this summer are Persepolis and Hitchhiker's Guide. I've never read either and have always wanted to.
Jackie Blue:
I have heard fairly horrible things about Robin Hobb's Forest Mage, but I liked the first book in that trilogy and I'm kind of curious as to whether it's really that bad so I think I'll pick it up today when I go get the new Swanwick.
