That's ok! Since I chose it, I consider it partly my fault :)

After reading it, I was a bit surprised that it was a Booker finalist (as I have partly eluded to before)---it wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't bad either. I read the other book I proposed---In a Strange Room, which was better and would have offered more to discuss. Oh well!

Did you like American Gods?

Oh don't worry; you're not at fault for picking a book I might dislike.

I still haven't finished it (not putting aside enough time for fiction lately) but I really like it so far. I like the feel of having a totally normal guy in the normal world but with supernatural beings and strange events happening around him - it kind of reminds me of some of Haruki Murakami's writing.
