Neil Gaiman has a blog that I read, and today he posted some letters from kids who had read his books. They were really cute, so I'm pasting some in here for your amusement. :) (For some reason Blogger won't let me de-italicize this, so bear with me)

The letters:

How did you get to know Lemony Snicket? Why do authors know so many other authors?And Your Question to me, I'm Sure, is "WHY MUST I SUFFER THIS INHUMANITY OF INTERROGATION?"~ QUESTIONING YOU LIKE THE FBI, Wade Redfearn~

Where is the place where you feel better?

Did people ever tell you when you were growing up that you were creepy, and that maybe you should get some professional help? What would you say to somebody who said that thinking differently (the way you do) isn't good to expose people to?

The most frightening parts of your book are when the rats sing, or chant, ot whatever they do... But whatever it is it is TERRIFYING. I'm 16 years old and I was extremely scared. Can you tell me what they mean? By the way, your daughter was right, you're never too old for this book. For a long time I wondered if you had meant to write it as a children's book...

where were you born

Do you like bacon?

how do you come up with all these ideas for great books?

I think you're really hott can I have your phone number and/or address?

Does the song the rats sing have anything to do with the "my name is Legion, for we are many" passage from the Bible?

What is your new book called?

How long have you been writing stories.

HOW MANY BOOKS HAVE YOU WRITTEN

How come you write so many scary stories I mean, are you trying to scare people Im not saying there bad I like the books I think there are awsome but some people might read the books and be actully hiding under there bed for the next fue weeks so thanks for the great oppritunity of reading your books

how old were u when u became popular

When is teatime?

I was rereading "American Gods" during a trip through the former East Germany, and one town - Spreewald - had not only storks, but anthropormorphized giant pickles. The pickles smile and offer themselves for sacrifice to holiday tourists.
Clearly something sinister is afoot in Spreewald, could you please send Shadow?

My grandfather always based his sotries somewhat near real people in his life, like his wife or .. um, lady friend. Do you ever base stories from experiences with your own children? Are any of your characters LIKE your children? I know that's a big personal question, so I won't be completely a prat if you don't answer.

hi. just wondering if there was a way to send you a letter because I missed out on the opportunity with sandman.... I was a bit young and comics were rare in South Africa
