We pay him with a bottle of alcohol (and, this time, some very sinful pastries). He'll be retiring soon, though. <br /><br />Yes, I did read almost half of Neverwhere in London! And, it was definitely special doing so. We had just walked past Charing Cross station when I sat down to read and Richard just happened to be at Charing Cross. Loved that bit of almost-synchronicity.<br /><br />Cats are funny, aren't they? Isabel is still sticking close to me but she's such a puppy, anyway. She's really almost always by my side. And, she was excited to see me. Love that in a cat! Fiona's been pretty friendly, too, but she's more typically cat-like, outgoing like most tabbies but she does her own thing. <br /><br />It's wonderful when a book is good enough to occupy you on a plane, isn't it? I really have come to dislike the flying, now that the seats are so uncomfortably close, so I appreciate it when the reading material grabs me and helps pass the time.

That would be very atmospheric. <br /><br />I love when I come home from a trip and my kitties act like they don't care that I was gone but won't leave my side for a few days. <br /><br />I'm not much of an airplane reader either so when a book is so good it makes me an airplane reader... perfection!

She can hardly bear to let me out of her sight. <br /><br />Yes, we went to the Persephone store and I've been there several times. It's old hat, now, but still every bit as fun to visit as it was the first time. It's a special place. You really must go. <br /><br />Yep, it's my first time reading Neverwhere. Gaiman is hit or miss with me but this one is definitely a hit. I love Gaiman's reading so it might be an exception - an audio I can stand to listen to. In general, I only listen to full-cast performances. I'm not a particularly good listener; I have to be entertained. But, I do love his voice.

You've been before, haven't you? That's one of the things on my bucket list :) And is this your first time reading Neverwhere?? It's such a good book! I haven't listened to the full cast recording yet, but the one that Gaiman reads himself is fantastic.chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-69009421906349645342015-10-13T15:09:40.770-05:002015-10-13T15:09:40.770-05:00Yep, hence the lack of normal FB posting.
