Cool. In honor of seven years of online journaling (or blogging, as the kids call it these days), Harper Collins will be posting one of Neil Gaiman's books online free for nothing. You can influence which book it is by voting for one (or more) here: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/02/birthday-thing.html.
Given that I've already read (and own) all but one of the books listed, I'm not as excited about the freeness for my sake, but for others that might want a good introduction to Gaiman's work. My vote was for American Gods, probably the most accessible of the books listed (with the possible exception of Stardust, which also makes for a great DVD rental, for an even easier introduction to Gaiman).
