Neil? Neil Gaiman?

Well, I found a new book to hold my attention. And I finished it already. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I picked it up thinking, "Self. You liked Neverwhere and American Gods, why not continue on with Anansi Boys. It'll be good for you!" Now, I always want to avoid things that are good for me so I almost didn't do it (I'm so contrary) but I finished it within 24 hours. I love books that deal with the supernatural as if it were an everyday part of life, such as how I imagine human cultures dealt with their Gods and such. Oh, it's raining, pissed of Zeus again. Ah, got into a horrible chariot accident, most of forgotten to sacrifice...er a goat? A virgin (they taste better right?)? My first born? You know how it goes.... Neil has the gift to make the ludicrous seem completely plausible. I enjoyed the hell out of Anansi Boys, which I kept calling Anasazi Boys, cuz I'm smart that way, so I went into my library to see if I had any other of Gaiman's books. Lo and behold I came to an awful conclusion! I had no more books by him. Until I looked closely at American Gods and saw there was a bookmark left in the book. Now, for me that's not uncommon, I have half-read books with bookmarks stuck all around my home. But then it slowly dawned on me....I never finished it!!! Holy Shit, Batman! Yes, I have another book to read!!! And I started reading it years ago, around 2004-2005 so now I got to start over!!! YES!!! Ok, I admit I'm a little over-exuberant on this topic, but Neil Gaiman is worth it. Go! Find him! I'll wait.....


And while I wait, more husbands. Hmmmm...
