new reading...

[saturn]

embitca's book exchange worked. :)

Today, American Goods by Neil Gaiman arrived, courtesy of evilprettykitty.

Stephen King says "Gaiman is a treasure house...we are lucky to have him."

evilprettykitty says, "This is a book I totally only started reading because it has a scene in one of my most favorite places. But SURPRISE! It was good!"

The book jacket says: "Shadow is a man with a past. But now he wants nothing more than to live a quiet life with his wife and stay out of trouble. Until he learns that she's been killed in a terrible accident.

Flying home for the funeral, as a violent storm rocks the plane, a strange man in the seat next to him introduces himself. The man calls himself Mr. Wednesday, and he knows more about Shadow than is possible.

He warns Shadow that a far bigger storm is coming. Add from that moment on, nothing will ever be the same..."

I really enjoy LJ mail.
