On References to Neil Gaiman’s American Gods

I know I have referenced Neil Gaiman on a number of occasions in my classes over the years. He is, in fact, one of my favorite living authors. More than that, the book that I tend to reference most often when his name comes up is American Gods. While it isn’t my favorite title of his, I loved the premese from the moment I picked it up in a bookstore and read the back cover. The whole idea of the mythological gods from cultures around the world  washing up on the shores of America, really co-existing with everyday people, and never leaving was particularly brilliant, I thought.

Well, for the next month the author and his publisher have made the book available online for free. I strongly encourage any of you to take a look and let me know what you think.
