Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.

Ooooh. Couldn't leave you without this little tidbit I found.

Now, after reading Neverwhere for Book Club, I am not Neil Gaiman's biggest and brightest fan. To be honest, I found his writing confusing and kind of pointless. I like fantasy but I think I prefer it in films and TV shows than in novels. Teen fiction kind of gets away with it but in adult novels I find it slightly ludicrous (I know, big old hypocrite). So in some ways, it could be really interesting to see a film essentially written by an author I'm not too keen on. I'd like to know whether the movie variation makes any dents in my opinion.
