I liked it and everything, but for whatever reason I stopped there.  I&amp;#39;m so glad I reread and continued, because they just get better and better as you go along, and the the whole thing is made up of various stories that turn out to be all interconnected.  It&amp;#39;s really good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jenny - This is one of my favorites as well.  And I completely agree - it is so bittersweet in places, and Delirium and Dream are great together.  I can tell now that I will really enjoy going back and rereading the series, knowing what I know after reading them all.  So I guess it won&amp;#39;t be so bad when I&amp;#39;m finally finished with it!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817877016467777103/2420920074918150854/comments/default/2356919632309324747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817877016467777103/2420920074918150854/comments/default/2356919632309324747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.booksandotherthoughts.com/2012/01/sandman-brief-lives.html?showComment=1326376287917#c2356919632309324747' title=''/><author><name>Darla D</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_20PIp2864ok/ShdgX3iNNyI/AAAAAAAAB48/Rr4C6jqWxZ4/S220/hammockavatar1.JPG'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.booksandotherthoughts.com/2012/01/sandman-brief-lives.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-2420920074918150854' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2817877016467777103/posts/default/2420920074918150854' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-354236516'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-391138131870772412</id><published>2012-01-10T21:00:59.264-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-10T21:00:59.264-05:00</updated><title type='text'>This is close to being my favorite if not my actua...</title><content type='html'>This is close to being my favorite if not my actual favorite.
