The Sandman Vol. 5: A Game of You by Neil Gaiman
5.0
What's so special about this series as it continues is how the story is pivoting away from Sandman as the central character and instead becoming a collection of individual stories in which Sandman/Morpheus is just the common thread. This volume is ~150 pages and Morpheus appears on maybe 20 of them.
I was in no rush to read this volume, and I'm in no rush to read the next volume either. I know it will be great, and there's something special about letting a great book sit on the shelf for the opportune moment. Almost like a fine wine - volume six waits patiently on the shelf for whatever occasion I deem appropriate to crack it open. Could be tomorrow, could be next year. There's no risk of me forgetting where I left off.
