Sandman is an awesome series. I was amazed by some of the subtle details that got slipped in.

That, and he also manages to make Despair a sympathetic character. I'd have thought that impossible.
Delirium is an awesome character too. Her "I'll change you into a half-demon waitress" comment was funny

yeah the despair stuff is very nice. and subtly hinted at throughout - so you never really know what happened, or the details at least, but he gives you enough hints (eventually) so you can get a general idea of what went on. and delirium is of course brilliant!

Planning on doing Classical Studies, so learning about Ancient Greek and Roman culture and so on.
Chose Reading 'cause my Classics teacher kept recommending it due to it being a good place for Classics in her opinion, I visited and promptly fell in love with the campus
