Yesssss. I love authors like Gaiman. He has dignity, and just...I don't know, gravitas. He seems like one of the last remnants of a dying breed of dignified authors, standing out like a graven, immovable stone in the midst of the churning tempest of the high school popularity contest publishing has become.

...that was dramatic. Well. Yes. Anyway, yes. I respect Gaiman, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that he respects himself and his professional image.
