I just finished American Gods (for 1 Book, 1 Twitter #1b1t). Pretty good, better than my previous read; which was The Dream of Perpetual Motion. That book started out well enough, but I think the author either didn’t have a satisfactory ending planned, or needed serious editorial input. It followed the typical not ready feel of good beginning, slow middle, flip and disappointing ending. Pretty much it blew off any investment the reader had in the characters.
In the queue at the moment, The City and the City (in progress), Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
I read American Gods a couple years ago (found a copy in a second-hand bookstore in Seattle). I thought it was good as well. Be sure to queue up Anansi Boys when you get a chance. It’s set in the same world as American Gods, but still manages to be different and interesting.
