“Find Me On The Printed Page…”

I am currently reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, because a very good friend of mine keeps insisting that the man is an earth-bound literary deity himself. So far, I’ll say it’s certainly out-there… and I’m having fun trying to second-guess who the ‘strangers’ who pop up along the seem to actually be… and it’s just up my street, the notion of gods walking among us. I love that. Too bad the main character’s name puts me in mind of a furry character an anthro-artist I know draws! {:)

* Yes, I know! Not a children’s book, right? Let’s just say… I wasn’t very much into the Sweet Valley books as a pre-teen…
