Seems like a lot of people want Neil Gaiman, the fantasy novelist, short-story and comics writer, to give away his books. On Saturday Mr. Gaiman invited readers of his blog to select the book they would give to a friend who has never read his work before. More than 16,500 votes have been cast for one of eight titles highlighted at neilgaiman.com. Mr. Gaiman will select a winner next week, and a free electronic copy of that book will be posted on the Web site of HarperCollins Publishers, harpercollins.com, later this month. The book will be one of six, including a novel by Paulo Coelho and a cookbook by the Food Network star Robert Irvine, that HarperCollins is making available free online for a month each. Readers will not be able to download or print the books. In Mr. Coelhoâs case the publisher will upload a different title each month until the end of the year.
