LostCarPark's Journal

I went to Neil Gaiman's reading and signing of The Graveyard Book in Easons, Dublin last night, and as usual Neil was in excellent form. He read the first chapter of the book (which I'd already heard him read at Eastercon, but it still had me on the edge of my seat). I can't wait to read the rest of it (though I doubt I'll be reading much fiction for the next month). The Q&A part was equally engaging, with questions about his next books and various collabourations and movies that may or may not be in the pipeline.

Afterwards we queued to get our books signed. There was a friendly banter in the queue, and I enjoyed a brief chat with Neil. I was lucky enough to be fairly near the front, so didn't have to wait too long. The event had been ticketed, but there were at least as many people without tickets standing at the back, sides, and anywhere else they could get something that approximated for a view.

I suspect that Neil was signing books for quite a long time.
