American Gods

In keeping with my self imposed rule here, I'm not reviewing American Gods. Whats to say that isn't going to come out gushing in fan boy induced glee? I like Gaiman's work. I enjoy his ability to craft stories, and his willingness to insert pieces that are less than normal. At the end of the day I'm not sure that I'm able or willing to perceive the faults that may lie in his books, and so I can't do more than say:

I read American Gods again.

And I'm sorry Mr. Norrel, I'm getting to you as swiftly as my free time will allow. Please don't turn me into a newt. The history of English magic lends me confidence that I would get better, but I'm not sure about the time frame, or if I'd enjoy spending time with Gussie Fink-Nottle.
