"I think of myself as English, even if my accent's a bit dodgy these days."

I'm not sure how that applies to me, but thanks Neil!

If you replace English with Southern, it may apply.

Heh.

Especially given the fact that I've actually been known to use the phrase "a bit dodgy".

English is a lot more like Southern than many people suspect.

That's actually true. Most of the immigrants to the southeast were from England and Scotland, including mine.

Well, as Jimmy is to many people, Gaiman's popularity perplexes me. :)

Ah, you obviously haven't read Good Omens or American Gods. :-)

Or Sandman, for that matter.

I got bored of Sandman. Well, perhaps that's not the right word. I just really, really didn't like it. From art to writing it wasn't really worth my time, so I put it down after reading it for an hour and never picked it back up.

Haven't gotten around to the books, though.

It doesn't really start to get good until issue 8, when Death is introduced.

I don't have a recollection of how far I got into it. I was reading it in a single volume, so the transitions between books were not so obvious.

But for the most part, I just couldn't get into it, nor was I drawn into it. I was just. . . it didn't have anything for me.

Issue 8 is the last bit of the first volume The subsequent volumes are much better than the first.
