The First of Eleven

It's a good that my friend Ces isn't that good at remembering birthdays. Otherwise, she wouldn't feel that guilty, enough to buy me Volume One of Neil Gaiman's Sandman Series -- Preludes and Nocturnes.

Collecting the series has always been a part in my plans: birthday plans, Christmas plans, yearly plans. But I haven't really gotten around to do it for a number of reasons: priority of other must-have's, availability of volumes in bookstores, time (specifically the lack thereof) to visit bookstores, and the prohibitive costs of this particular iconic comic series. I didn't think I'd have a copy of Volume One especially now, what with all the charge slips stacking up.

I finished it all in one sitting. Pretty interesting read. I'm looking forward to buying on the remaining ten comic books.
