Poll question: Which Neil Gaiman should I read next?
I picked up Coraline a few months ago and loved it. Last week I saw Neverwhere and got it. Finished it last night. I loved it. So I went out today and bought three new Gaiman books.... which should I read next?

1. Run, don't walk to the couch
...and start Good Omens. You may never have such a good time reading a book. :)

2. American Gods is not his best work. Just finished 'Stardust', it's great
Wonderfully written and it's paced quite expertly.

Good for adults and children.

3. Have you read all the Sandman graphic novels?
If not, you should.

5. Good Omens,
although American Gods is definately worth the read, although it's a different venue. If you liked the Sandman series, you'll like American Gods.

7. Good Omens is the funniest novel I ever read
even including some of Vonnegut's best. And the ending brought a tear of joy to my eye.

Of course, my kid's say I'm pretty much a marshmallow anyway.
