Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders by Neil Gaiman
Did not finish book.
DNF'd after "The Problem of Susan," which was an absolute travesty of a story. Up to that point, most of the stories hadn't been bad, though they were rather too interested in sex and disgustingness at times. But that one — ugh. It's distrespectful. It's disgusting. It completely misses the point of Susan's story and of Narnia as a whole. And, honestly, I wish I could forget I'd ever read it.
There were a few good bits in here: most of the poetry, and the third story — I can't remember the name, but it's basically a parody of escapist fiction writers, and it was quite fun. But my advice is to find those elsewhere and avoid the rest of the book.
