YMMV, of course, but I have yet to read anything by Gaiman that I didn't 
enjoy.  Some books more than others, true...but the quality of his work 
seems uniformly high to me.  And of course, DeLint is just great as well -- 
I have _Onion Girl_ waiting for me on my desk even now.

But to return to Gaiman, I found that _American Gods_ got me thinking about 
an alternate magic system for UA.  Anyone out there familiar with GURPS 
Vodoo?  Steal the system from that (long story short: Adepts call upon the 
Loa to "ride" them, and work magic through them), make some changes to make 
it fit into the UA rules, and have the players calling upon Gaiman's "New 
Gods".

There something about the idea of rituals designed to call upon the God of 
Cars that really amuses me.
