Location: UK		Hi Scott! I am still plugging away at the NPR list,because most of the lists on WWEnd have lots of hard to locate books on them. I was glad to see I am able to get all but 6 of the books necessary to do the list through my library Using quite a few off the NPR for the challenges here this year,should come up to about 80% and finishthe list next yeart next year. Hey,we cant all be like the super achiever Engelbrecht!
I was frustrated that I couldnt located The Sandman,but a recent new edition has come into the library,and I have read the first three.I was blown away by this seriesOf course I am no expert on graphic art,and have only the dimmest knowledge of the DC comic heroes mentioned,but the story telling was mesmerising,alternating between beauty and horror,as you would expect from Gaiman.Outstanding things?The 24 hour diner section in Preludes,absolutely terrifying.The serial killer convention in Doll's House,hilarious and horrifying at the same time And the Midsummer Night's Dream section in Dream Country What a brilliant idea to have the real fairies sitting watching Shakespeare,Babbage ad Co acting out the play about them,and Puck well,just being Puck really.Good stuff.Looking forward to vol 4,Season of Mists Loved .Tut tut, you havent read American Gods yet?
