What are you reading?

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

I would recommend "GOOD OMENS" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Very good and mostly no serial killers. Or Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman which has mostly disappearances instead of grisly stuff.

Apropos (or is it à propos?? I keep wondering!) someone recommended American Gods to me. I haven't read anything by Gaiman, except Stardust... Is it a nice novel?

American Gods is good.
'Nice' is subjective. Good story, excellent characters.

Neverwhere got me lost and I liked the Stardust book better than the movie.
Yes, even with Robert DeNiro...

 

[Catch-up]

Still working my way through The Gone Away World. Very good, but really, really long.

American Gods is Epic I must have read it 4 or 5 times now and I find it still gripping and hard to put down
you can read a few chapters here:

I am a little afraid of Neil Gaiman... I read his Smoke and Mirrors book and got both scared and then very angry about some of the stories. He has a brilliant mind with some very, very dark nooks in it.

Rereading The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto. It's an excellent read, I highly recommend it.

Ok, finally finished this and it was worth it! I can officially recommend it. I would love to hear someone else's opinion on it.

I'm reading Three Cups of Tea, the book that Sharlene recommended a page or so back - and, bless her heart, she sent me a copy of.

It's an incredible book and very hard to put down.

Why? Does it have sticky substances on the cover?

You're Batty!

It's maybe the sugar in the tea.

 

[Tonyblack]

Rancid yak butter in this case.

Finished Going Postal again, I really do like that book and am reading "Free from Lies" by Alice Miller, I love her work. It has enlightened me and helped in my therapy.

Also reading Small Gods again, then will read Going Postal for SEPTEMBER 7TH.
