And to top it all off, here's an article from Neil Stephenson in which
he mentions Neil Gaiman, and which is generally interesting reading
IMHO:

Still haven't gotten around to read Cryptonomicon yet, but I loved Snow
Crash and The Diamond Age; also, if you like Neil Gaiman, get "Good
Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett - it's not really Science
Fiction, but it's a laughing riot.
As for Science Fiction, I like Greg Bear quite a bit - Queen Of Angels,
Moving Mars and Darwin's Radio are very, very good reads.
