Does anyone have the time to at least seperate the Prose works out into Fiction and Non-Fiction? That we seem a good starting point...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.132.236.33 (talk)

[edit] Amount of Information?

I don't think there should be that much information on his books in this article. It should simply be an organized list of his works, and should exclude all the summaries and serial numbers. That's reserved for the actual article of each individual book, and probably the subarticle of Neil's work itself. Meatspinclock 20:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, since there's been no dispute to that particular argument, and having looked at several other authors' bibliographies, I'm going to remove a great deal of the information about each one - mostly the formal bibliography trash, like the ISBN numbers and such. Like I stated before, the actual information is shown in each work's articles.

If anyone decides they have a problem, they can revert it back to as it was with hard-on-the-eyes paragraphs of needless fluff. Meatspinclock 11:32, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I think the information just needs to be better presented, but not removed. The publisher has to be there, as well as dates. I'm working on this "problem" at List of the writings of William Monahan. You have to keep in mind that some people are going to want to use this list to construct there own physical collection of Neil Gaiman's works. Think about getting it past WP:FLC and what they would demand.-BillDeanCarter 13:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Book reviews

Neil Gaiman does some book reviews occasionally for the Washington Post.. sometimes full length, sometimes just a paragraph or two. here are some:

• "Neil Gaiman on 'Black House' by Stephen King and Peter Straub", The Washington Post, 2001-09-16. 
• "Neil Gaiman on 'Summerland' by Michael Chabon", The Washington Post, 2002-10-06. 
• and there are other short reviews of books ancient and new at The Washington Post by Gaiman.
