Hello Mr. Gaiman! I was browsing my school’s books and found that all the copies of Fahrenheit 451 were the 60th anniversary editions with your introduction. I was on the fence about Fahrenheit 451 before (I’ve heard mixed opinions on the book), but I decided to pick it up partly because of this (and partly because we needed to pick books that day), and it’s a very nice book :D I don’t really know what else I want to say here except perhaps a thank you in general (also the school librarian featured The Graveyard Book in her daily book talk which I plan on reading when I can)

I’m glad. I wrote the introduction because I read a lot of grumpy one star Amazon reviews from students who read and hated the book, and it was very obvious that nobody had explained to them what they were reading or why they were reading it. So I tried to do that, in the hopes that people who would have hated the book would perhaps find things in it to appreciate.

Hello Mr. Gaiman!

I am planning out a large tattoo for my arm with many literary references in it. My favorite book has been American Gods ever since I read it.

I would be honored if you would give me a bit of inspiration for the American Gods portion of the tattoo. Is there an idea or symbol that you feel really resonates with the story? Or maybe a specific scene in the book? (Or a wee little doodle you've drawn? As if I am that lucky!)

Your advice would be so helpful, as I am so indecisive. The whole book is worthy of being inscribed permanently to a person, yet having the tattoo artist transcribe the entire text to my body seems a little impractical. :)

Much love to you and your family,

Brittany

How about a tree? Or a raven?

I found Goliath - your short story set in The Matrix universe - to be an incredible piece of science fiction. It's especially fascinating considering your writing trends more toward fantasy. How did you feel about science fiction then and do you feel you'd ever want to give it another go in the future?

I’m fond of my SF. I wish I’d written more – when I was a kid I thought I’d grow up to be a science fiction writer and was a bit disappointed when it didn’t happen.

Hello Mr. Gaiman !

I have a question that's been on the back of my mind for a while now ever since I started reading Good Omens and finished watching the show. So sorry in advance if someone has already asked this, but I would like to know why is it that in the book Crowley is the one to speak the line: “he's not evil incarnate or good incarnate, he's just . . . a human incarnate”, whilst in the show it is Aziraphale who uses those words to encourage Adam to do what's right and reassure him it's okay to be ‘just’ a kid.

Thank you in advance if you respond to this, you're a great inspiration and make my days better!

I thought the line worked better on the screen if I gave it to Aziraphale.
