I think the AI in Gaiman is a dipthong, so I suspect the first syllable is pronounced like the word "GUY" and the second is "mun"... Neil GUY-mun (the u is like a schwa).
I had a friend who said it was GAY-man, which I still tend to say if I don't think about it, but I've heard GUY-mun is the right way. I think my friend just liked to say "Kneal, gay man!" anyhow... he was an odd one.
Neil Gaiman's two novels, Good Omens and Neverwhere are both among by top 20 novels (which is sortof a huge tie for first place). Stardust is almost a novel, and it is in there too...
So where does the idea that novels aren't his strong suit come from? He has only written one novel by himself (Good Omens is with Pratchett, Stardust is a novella, really, or a serial) and it was fantastic. I look forward to the new one. Yippee!
