Great facts, deathspectacular!
Is there a site dedicated to Neil Gaiman facts, similar to the one dedicated to Chuck Norris, or you came up with the facts?
I've only read one novel written by Neil Gaiman with Terry Pratchett, "Good Omens", which I find to be spectacular.

I haven't seen a site, but there should be one.
another really good book by him is American Gods. Or Ananasi Boys. Or Neverwhere. I could go on.
