I was very pleased with the choice of The Graveyard Book By Neil Gaiman. In addition to being an excellent book, Gaiman did something I haven't seen before. He did a nine city book tour and read a portion of the book, which was videotaped, at each site. Then he put the video of the entire book on his website. What an interesting thing to do! I wonder what the thinking was behind this move.
