I do love the other books of Saramago's that I read. This is the first I've heard of The Frangipani Hotel but it looks good to me!

Gaiman writes such a variety of stuff that I can't say they're all the same. I only mention <a href="http://guiltlessreading.blogspot.com/2009/12/coraline-by-neil-gaiman.html" rel="nofollow">Coraline</a> because that's what Ocean reminded me of.<br /><br />If you get chance, I'd recommend you look for <a href="http://guiltlessreading.blogspot.com/2010/01/graveyard-book-by-neil-gaiman.html" rel="nofollow">The Graveyard Book</a>, which is technically a children's book and his short story collection M is for Magic (btw, I've never read Closing Time though and now you've got me really curious!). I also really enjoyed <a href="http://guiltlessreading.blogspot.ca/2009/12/stardust-by-neil-gaiman.html" rel="nofollow">Stardust</a> (young adult) and The Anansi Boys -- both fantasy!guiltlessreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966826359454179677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-1432932054104944362014-12-16T15:18:38.813-05:002014-12-16T15:18:38.813-05:00The Ocean at the End of the Lane was one of my fav...The Ocean at the End of the Lane was one of my favorites, too! :)Lauren Stoolfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777860030600932061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712356914314014189.post-27755426307424422212014-12-16T09:09:48.497-05:002014-12-16T09:09:48.497-05:00I've read Gaiman this year for the first time ...I've read Gaiman this year for the first time but I've read The Ocean... before Coraline so the second book has been a little disappointing (I read very little - nearly never - books for teenagers) and I'm happy you bring these books together because when I've read Coraline, I've had the feeling to read something very close to The Ocean. As I'm just discovering Gaiman's work (I've also read the short story Closing Time), I didn't know if his stories were all the same.<br /><br />Thank you to draw my attention towards Say You're One of Them. I had noticed the book when it has been released in France last year but I had forgotten it. I totally agree with what you say: it's not always easy to read such stories but it's necessary.<br /><br />Incendiary Girls is already on my wishlist.<br /><br />And I'm more than happy to see a novel by Saramago! I've loved Cain but even more The Gospel According to Jesus Christ which is one of my all-time favorites.Flohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013474916089641682noreply@blogger.com
