Neil Gaiman: By the Book ›
Do you prefer a book that makes you laugh or makes you cry? One that teaches you something or one that distracts you?
Neil Gaiman:
Yes.
Wait, do you think those things are exclusive? That books can only be one or the other? I would rather read a book with all of those things in it: a laughing, crying, educating, distracting book. And I would like more than that, the kind of book where the pages groan under the weight of keeping all such opposites apart.
