Book 1: American Gods

So, it seems this will be our first book, and Randy has to get a copy. I am almost done with Anansi Boys (another book by Neil Gaiman), so I am anxious to start this next book. My understanding is that similar characters appear in both books, but the stories are not related (allegedly).

His style tends to be a bit like Leslie Marmon Silko (Ceremony) with magical realism and ideas which one would accept as truth, despite the fact that they are surreal, or even preternatural. I'm excited to be reading again which is an ironic statement considering I teach English literature. :)
