I kept trying to figure out how she kept track of everything and how she made it so plausible...but I knew it was good when I realized that I wasn't analyzing it anymore but just reading. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday I finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman which is absolutely disturbing and horrifying and magical. I couldn't stay away from it. I'll have to re-read it. There are themes in it a mile deep. Not for everybody... but ultimately hopeful.

It is magical, happy, sad, imaginative, totally engrossing. The other books that have held me in their thrall would be The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Notebook, The Red Tent, The Last Days of Dogtown and The Mermaid's Chair. <BR/><BR/>JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
