Two Amazing Authors
Since we will be talking about Neil Gaiman in class tomorrow, I thought I'd bring up what I think is awesome news. A British company has decided to make a TV series out of Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's "Good Omens"! The link about the article is in the title. Gaiman mentioned this on his journal last week. Of course, it will be overly British, I'm sure, but so was the book. I think the inclusion of a former Monty Python writer will lead to a very interesting show. On a sadder note, when I was looking for Gaiman's journal entry, I saw what he had posted on Sunday. He wrote a long, beautiful goodbye to a friend and great writer, Dianna Wynne Jones. I have never read as much of her writing as I would like, but what I have read, I have enjoyed. She seems to have had a large impact on Gaiman's life. I know he and the fantasy world will miss her.

I really enjoyed the BBC adaptations of Terry Pratchett's The Color of Magic and The Hogfather. While they were adapted for a younger audience, they are still great. If they represent what will be done to Good Omens, then I have no doubt it is in good hands. If you are interested, both are available on Netflix instant streaming.
