Neil Gaiman on Colbert

[Remus Lupin]

I'm surprised nobody's posted this. It was quite funny. I particularly liked it when Stephen let his geek flag fly by quoting "The Ballad of Tom Bombadil" at length. Enjoy.

[Darth Shoju]

Nice. Gaiman did well.

 

[Merlin's Shadow]

Awesome!

 

[Krug]

Ah gonna add The Graveyard Book on my to-read list..

 

[Richards]

I think you'll like it, Krug, it was a very good read.

I kinda loved the look on Neil's face during Colbert's recitation of the Tom Bombadil song. Like... he just didn't know how to react.

The Graveyard Book has been on my list for a while... I keep putting off reading it, saving it as a treat for myself.

Good for Gaiman, he seemed to hold his own, a lot of people, especially authors get taken by Colbert because he's so aggressive and outgoing.
