This comment is dedicated to Miss Cellania. As you slide down the bannister of life, may the splinters never be pointed in the wrong direction.

Happy Friday!

What's even nicer is if you can meet the author and he inscribes a copy of one of their works for you.  I once met Sir Terry Pratchett, and he signed a copy of "Good Omens" (which he co-wrote with Niel Gaiman) for me, along with a hand-written comment that "We made the Devil do it!".

I'm holding out hope that I get to meet Mr. Gaiman sometime soon, so I can get him to autograph the book as well.
