This room I've been sleeping in is perfect at this time of day, when twilight is just beginning and the light left coming through the drawn blinds is a soft gray haze and everything is cool and quiet. I came in here the other evening at this time and just lay in the dimness, listening to Neil as the day drew to a complete close and soothing ( Read more... )

He even has a fan club.

I am cackling.

I've always liked that line, but now it has its own ironic meaning for me, because an audio recording of the Graveyard Book read by the author himself has been the only thing keeping me company through bleary-eyed 4 am wrestling matches with fabric and pins.
