Almost done

Once again I find myself in the paradoxically unenviable position of nearly being done with a Neil Gaiman book. Though it's considered a "young adult" book (who makes up these labels?), it's one I've found quite enjoyable. Gaiman's wry sense of humor pervades the book and keeps it on an even keel.

The students I've spoken with have raved about it, which of course, makes me fairly happy since it was my recommendation for our first book.

More favorite quotes, this one occurs when Bod is talking with Nehemiah Trot about revenge (Trot chose to write only for himself and not publish his work, instead having his work buried with him over 200 years ago and then to later be dug up and have his work published after posterity had realized its mistake):

"And after you died, they dug you up, and they printed the poems?" (Bod)
"Not yet, no. But there is still plenty of time. Posterity is vast."

Heh.
