At last! I have a copy of the latest book of neil gaiman - fragile things. It's actually a collection of short stories and poems. We got it from NB Bestseller. We found this new store at galeria when we were strolling after 2 movies (number 23 and ghost rider) last Saturday. We noticed a new, and bright book store which happens to be owned by National Bookstore too. Funny how Buboy and i get excited everytime we discover a new bookstore:)
After all the fuss, i was not disappointed. I like how neil tells his stories. It's like bedtime stories being told directly to me. In his introduction, which is rather long because he introduced every story and poem in the book, there was something that touched me: "...the peculiarity of most things we think of as fragile is how tough they truly are... even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things can prove remarkably difficult to kill." I believe this to be true. It's hard to let go of a dream because when one of our dreams die, part of us die with it.
We were also able to buy a vcd of mirror mask, also written by gaiman which was made into a movie by the jim henson company. It's actually a children's story, i.e. for kids and kids in us:) It's good to watch fantasies now and then. It brings back the imaginative side in me which I'm afraid is slowly dying.
