21. Love Pratchett and Hiaasen. I just picked up "Wrecker" one of his YA but not really novels

It is going to be good.

I am jumping back and forth between two books:
Still working with The One Hundred Years of Ellie and Margot - it's not that I don't like it I just haven't been reading much.
My other read is an Ebook version of "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman. This is my reading in bed book; I am really enjoying it. Side note: I read somewhere that the second season of "Sandman" is going to drop soon.

Published in 1997, Neil Gaiman’s darkly hypnotic first novel, Neverwhere, heralded the arrival of a major talent and became a touchstone of urban fantasy.

It is the story of Richard Mayhew, a young London businessman with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he discovers a girl bleeding on the sidewalk. He stops to help her—an act of kindness that plunges him into a world he never dreamed existed. Slipping through the cracks of reality, Richard lands in Neverwhere—a London of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels that exists entirely in a subterranean labyrinth. Neverwhere is home to Door, the mysterious girl Richard helped in the London Above. Here in Neverwhere, Door is a powerful noblewoman who has vowed to find the evil agent of her family’s slaughter and thwart the destruction of this strange underworld kingdom. If Richard is ever to return to his former life and home, he must join Lady Door’s quest to save her world—and may well die trying.

I was reading some of the reviews on Goodreads and one reader said she was going to have to read it twice because she kept stopping to chastise herself for not reading Gaiman before!!! "Why did no one ever tell me about this author!!!? "
