Neverwhere, my favourite of Neil Gaiman’s novels, is now available for free . It can be read online , or downloaded as an eBook (you’ll need Adobe Digital Editions ). Both will expire after 30 days, which is a bit of a shame, if understandable. Bizarrely, the two versions are a little different, with the an underground map online but not in the download.
I love Neverwhere, and kinda-reviewed it here a couple of years ago. Wonderful book. I’ve learnt much more about it since, including that Mr Gaiman describes one particular character as his own version of Doctor Who1.
His publishers released American Gods for free in February, but I think this time the free release is to help promote his upcoming novel: The Graveyard Book . The Dave McKean cover alone makes me want it immediately, but Mr Gaiman said the following on his blog: “The Graveyard Book is, I think, my favourite of all the things I’ve done, and I’m proud of it”.

We had a tale of time travel getting a man out of a speeding ticket. (Previously) Now we have a man trying to pay a bill with a spider drawing --not a speeding ticket this time. (He mentions time travel as well.) Today he sold the spider on eBay for $10k. J. Giles unavailable for comment.

The Amazon editors released their list of the Best Books of 2008 last week. I haven’t read all the 2008 top ten editors’ picks for teens. I missed #1, The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume II: The Kingdom on the Waves (check out Lauren’s rave about it here ), and #10, Little Brother .
For this edition of YA Wednesday, I decided to write a bit about the rest of the books on the list:

I picked up The Feeling ’s new album ‘Join with Us’ a couple of weeks ago, and it’s been looping pretty much ever since. I adored their first album1, and its final track “ Blue Piccadilly ” is my 2nd all-time-most-played song, according to iTunes. I’m happy to say I like their second just as much - it’s happy, fun and eminently sing-along-able. iTunes says my most played track is “ Don’t Make Me Sad “, although the endearingly b... more
My computer had never worked properly since I put in together in late 2005. I got random static bursts, and most USB devices would crash the system if left plugged in. I replaced the motherboard in desperation six months later, but it didn’t help much - the same problems came back. Research suggested the CPU and motherboard (both of them!) conflicted in some bizarre way, but no solutions were forthcoming, and I eventually gave up removing this or that piece of hardware every few w... more
