I also love him reading his autobiography. He has been on the top of my list for 15 years now, ever since I first listened to him reading the first Harry Potter book.

As for Gaiman - mileage varies, like always. Overall, I agree that there are very few authors who are also good narrators. Another book I have listened to is Catherynne Valente reading her first Fairyland book. It was ok, but not a great listen.
