Neil Gaiman's Readings

OK, first, I just have to say, Neil Gaiman replied to one of my tweets. Yay!

Now, to the matter at hand, I figured I would round up any and all of the pieces he read Thursday night that I could find online, both for those that did not get to go or those that wish to read them.

"Feminine Endings"
Video can be found here (scroll down to the video box, click on Neil Gaiman).
Text is here.

"My Last Landlady" is unpublished.

"Orange: (Third Subjects Response's to Investigator's Written Questionnaire). EYES ONLY"
Text here. Starts with intro on page 63.

"Inventing Aladdin"
Use look inside on this Amazon Page. Search for Inventing Aladdin, click on the link to page 281, and then read using the right page button.

"Locks"
Text here.
Bad quality video here.

There really was nothing like seeing him in person though. He is a wonderfully dramatic reader, and of course the accent does not hurt!

P.S. If anyone can find any more links, be sure to post them!

  1. Thanks for posting those links! I couldn't go to see him the other night, so it was good to hear him reading. I had imagined him quite differently. I don't normally like hearing books, since I'm a visual person, but his personality really added to the experience. He could portray humor and different emotions so vividly.

  2. I agree, and he is even better in person. It's not just the reading itself, but the extras he throws in between readings and how he answers questions.
