Neil Gaiman Book Giveaway
Another link from my new supplier of interesting stuff, Dan…
To celebrate the birthday of his very readable blog, Neil Gaiman is going to publish one of his books online for free for a month. You can go to his site and vote for the book you would most like to see made available.
Going on the suggestion that you should choose a book to give to a friend who had never read any Neil Gaiman, my vote goes for Neverwhere which remains the book I recommend to most people and is usually well received.
As you may have deduced, it’s the blog’s 7th birthday today. On February the 9th 2001, I started writing this thing. And now, 1,071,213 words later, it is still going. (Until the wind changes, as Mary Poppins said.)
One thing we’ve decided to do, as a small celebratory birthday thing is, initially for a month, make a book of mine available online, free, gratis and for nothing.
Which book, though…? Ah, that’s up to you.
What I want you to do is think — not about which of the books below is your favourite, but if you were giving one away to a friend who had never read anything of mine, what would it be? Where would you want them to start?
Click below on the cover of the book you’d like to see out there, online, for free. We’ll keep the voting up for a week, and then announce (and Harper Collins will post, to be read) the winning book.
