Meeting Neil Gaiman

Living near San Francisco has its perks. History. Food. Beautiful architecture. Nearly perfect weather for most of the year. We don’t get over to the city as often as we would like – a few times a year – but when we do, it’s always an experience.

You also never know who you may meet.

So several months ago, our friend Alicia posted something on her Facebook page about writer Neil Gaiman doing a signing tour for his new book, Ocean at the End of the Lane. Neil has sworn to make this his last signing tour, as he’s getting older and the tour grind is beyond exhausting.

We had a great time in Hawaii. It was a desperately needed vacation for both of us – and us together – and we’re home much relaxed and with recharged batteries.

Whenever we’re traveling, I don’t feel like our trip is truly complete without a bookstore hunt, the funkier and more independent the better. In Kauai, it turned out that there were only two real bookstores, and one of them – Borders – was long closed by the time we got there. So we tooled over to the other side of the island (oh the suffering, the suffering.. miles of Pacific coastline and lush green) to visit the Talk Story Bookstore. Without a doubt, it met all my critical funky and independent book browsing needs in Hawaii, and when you’re in the area I strongly recommend checking it out.

Actually finding the right book, that’s a different challenge.

Most people know we like to read.  A lot.  We have piles of books, boxes of books, shelves full in our room, the guest room, the office.  I’ve added a new page to R&K this week, Books We’ve Read. I’m looking forward to adding more to it and updating it with what we’re currently reading.
