Top Ten Books of 2009 #7
The Sandman, Volume 1: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman – Neil. Neil. Neil. You’re like the top ex-boyfriend author of mine. It never works between us and yet I keep trying. I’ve spent years reading and trying to like Mr. Gaiman’s novels and it wasn’t until I went back to the origins – The Sandman graphic novels - that I understood where he was coming from. I’m sorry baby, I am the bad ex-girlfriend that never got your genius until it was too late. (Disclaimer – I am not, nor have I ever, actually dated Neil Gaiman.)

So you know how I adore every novel/novella/whatever that NG has ever written? Yeah. Couldn’t get into the Sandman graphic novels. Read the whole series, waiting for the moment I’d fall in love. There were parts I liked, sure, but I just missed something, I suppose. *sigh*
