I do not look my age. Neither does Black Dogby.
@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com , I couldn't remember whether Stardust or Neverwhere were the my first book of yours, so I went to look up publication dates, and I did not see this coming. You look so young.

For me, it was seeing Stardust. Loved it, and then ran a bunch of miles while listening to @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com read Stardust, Coraline, Neverwhere…cried while mowing my lawn when [spoiler] died in The Graveyard Book.
I love that my feed is filled with people sharing their stories about how they discovered @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com . For me, I was brainstorming a DND campaign idea and one of my players said "That sounds a lot like American Gods" and he gave me his copy to read.
