……反转。其中最好的可能当属：《异光》（莎士比亚梗），或者《真相》（报业梗）。他几乎能调侃任何事物，却又始终带着由衷的喜爱。尼尔·盖曼的《坟场之书》是一本非常适合念给小孩子听的杰作。怪诞、诡异，却又不可思议地治愈，哪怕开篇就是一桩灭门惨案。记不清是哪个孩子听得津津有味了。我买了罗伯特·银伯格的《夜翼》……
…a wrench. The best of which might be: "Wyrd Sisters" (Shakespeare), or "The Truth" (Newspapers). He can make fun of pretty much anything, while still showing it great affection. Neil Gaiman's "The Graveyard Book" is a great book for reading to younger kids. Weird, creepy, but strangely uplifting, even if it does begin with a triple murder. I can't remember which kid took that. I bought Robert Silverberg's "Nightwings"…
……非常精彩的短篇小说集，笔触奇幻却又扎根现实。《公民：一首美国抒情诗》，克劳迪娅·兰金著——对美国种族问题的震撼剖析。我觉得自己需要再多读几遍。《坟场之书》，尼尔·盖曼著——依然是我最喜欢的作家之一。讲述了一个婴儿的家人惨遭残忍杀害，最终在墓地里被幽灵抚养长大的故事。
…Excellent collection of fantastical yet mundane short stories. Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine - Powerful exploration of race in America. I feel like I need to read it a few more times. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman - Still one of my favorite authors. Story of a baby whose family is brutally murdered and ends up being raised by spirits in a graveyard.
说到商业书：推荐《Growing a business》（虽然老了点但依然管用，很棒）和《开门迎客》（Setting the Table）。说到小说，我想推荐尼尔·盖曼的《坟场之书》。
Speaking of business books: Growing a business (old but still valid and great) and Setting the Table. Speaking of fiction I want to recommend Neil Gainman The Graveyard Book
我最近看了《坟场之书》的图像小说版。也强烈推荐看这一版，改编得相当出彩。
I recently read the graphic novel version of Graveyard Book. Would highly recommend that as well, it is quite well done.
我非常喜欢《乌有乡》、《坟场之书》、他所有的短篇小说集、《鬼妈妈》……而且《星尘》大概能在我的最爱电影榜单里排前5（喜欢到我甚至不敢去读原著）。我倒不算特别迷《睡魔》……那部实在是太阴暗了。
I really liked Neverwhere, The Graveyard Book, all his short story collections, Coraline...and Stardust is probably in my top 5 favorite movies (so much to where I'm scared to read the book). I'm not a big Sandman fan...it is just so dark.
他的小说——《美国众神》、《坟场之书》等等——在机智和英式幽默的调调上都跟道格拉斯·亚当斯如出一辙。觉得搞笑与否就完全见仁见智了。
His novels -- American Gods, Graveyard Book, et al. -- are in the same vein of clever and British humo[u]r as Adams'. Whether they are funny or not will depend on the reader.
