    OK, where do I find the complete list of banned SF books? I'm going to go out and buy a copy of each so that when my grand kids come of age they'll still be able to read them.

    My library will eventually look like this. That's assuming I someday build my own library, and finish paying off my other bills. That's also only based on me beating my latest speeding ticket, otherwise my insurance is gonna go, well in the words of Pixar, Up. Lastly, this grand library is based on the fact that I will be rich in the future...and seriously motivated.

    Wait, Gaiman lives in Minnesota? Why do I find that strangely disappointing? I guess I always imagined he worked from a small home built into a green hillside somewhere in the Black Country. Probably with a henge of some kind within hiking distance.

    As much as I respect his ability to amass such an outstanding collection of books . . . does anyone want to join my raiding party to *ahem* relieve him of a few? I’m sure he wouldn’t notice if we just took a couple . . .

    If I had this library, I would never do anything other than sit in it and read. Or maybe sometimes take a few books, go outside, and read. I'm impressed Neil manages to write as much as he does.

    @franklinshepard: Sometimes I would eat a read. I might even take a bath and read. Occasionally I'd invite people over. To read.

    What is even more impressive, is that he states on his blog that this is just ONE of his libraries. That is his downstairs library. He has another upstairs. Apparently. *is jealous*

    Is that Gibson's Pattern Recognition I spy in slide 13?

    Kinda wondering if there's a hidden magickal library hiding in there somewhere; perhaps behind the cat.

    Why isn't his library packed with "wonderful toys" like Ray Bradbury? Even so, I didn't envision Neil sitting in a grotty garage full of junk.

    Alright, this proves it. Neil Gaiman is Gilbert Norell and Jonathan Strange fused together via a spell gone wrong. What we are seeing is the Norrel's library cleverly glamoured to hide the books of magic. Of course, this must make Alan Moore the Raven King.

    .....

    That just makes too much sense.

    Awww...look at the senior kitty! That must be the most awesome life any living creature could have: being a Neil Gaiman library cat.

    As a lifelong renter - I can only DREAM of having this set-up. Right now, 90% of our books are still in boxes - we've run out of self space:(.

    @MISS MERCY STREET: No self-respecting author's library is complete without a cat. And yes, that kitty has an immensely awesome life.
