OT: Duder, DBO, Stench, 3Mos....AMERICAN GODS & Other bo

Post by Woobase »

I know I discussed the book with someone from here...can't remember who....but just picked this up (surprised I have not read it before...being a Gaiman fan from his Sandman comic series....anyway....again, not sure who recommended it to me, but if not one of you guys...have you read it, and if so, thoughts?

Also, Duder, you recommended some other books to me a while back....can you remember what they were? Received a B&N gift card, and I'm jonzing to order some books. (No fucking Kindle/Amazon or Nook/B&N for me...give me books to hold dammit).

I am re-reading "For Whom The Bell Tolls" (why???) and will start American Gods hopefully by the weekend.

Thanks

Read it. It's good, not great imho. If you want to read something great by Gaiman, read the Sandman comics. IMHO, American Gods is kinda like Sandman, only Sandman is better.

Yup, my son corrected me yesterday as the series I bought for him had the first 4 books and he rented the 5th book from our local library and finished it the 5th book in 6 days said he couldn't put it down....LOL He says his next tattoo will say "Winter is comming!" From Game of Thrones...
