It's frustrating me to no end that I can't read Dune at one go or at least for periods longer than lousy 15-minute train-ride stretches.

I was pleasantly surprised when I learnt last night that two of my co-workers are into Neil Gaiman as well. I'd never have guessed. Whether this is a sign of gross assumption or Gaiman's supreme penetration into the masses, I don't know. But I am very happy I found out. Sharing an affinity for books, and especially authors, and possessing the ability to discuss however vaguely or intelligently about books/literature always always scores brownie points with me. :D
