one of the best things ever

His book reading/Q&A he had for The Graveyard Book in Minneapolis was one of the best things ever. For the Q&A everyone could write down any question and he answered a large pile of them at random. Which meant he seriously answered a bunch of really strange questions irrelevant to the topic at hand (including a bunch of food questions and one where he had to summarize a book for someone's college homework). He just seemed really genuinely grateful to his fans and an all around good guy.
