Reading Sandman series volume by volume. By far, 24 hours, Sleep of the just from volume 1 and Calliope from volume 3 are the best stories in the first 4 volumes that I have read.There are some other mildly interesting stories and many other disappointments.

And "Season of Mists" you just have to read to believe. I said in my review for the 'Absolute Sandman, ...
