American Gods  by boxplayer

American Gods

Excellent fantasy novel, a tall tale of war between the old gods (brought to America by settlers and immigrants) and the new (technology, shopping, media etc). Unfortunately my bookmark broke not long into it. I've just joined a book club at work - hope I can manage the reading and continue to read my stuff.

Working at home and generally fretful - querying a few things before first carer visit tomorrow. And just as I started to eat my lunch, my tummy began to feel odd. Felt quite icky by the end of the day and spent the evening in bed. Not hungry, have just had peppermint tea.

Oddly Dave returned not feeling great and with an odd tummy. We can't work out any possible things we've eaten recently in common though.

Good Omens was up there as one of my fav's, I loved the mix of authors & thoroughly enjoyed the BBC adaptation. I never thought to try a Gaiman book on his own, doh.

Thanks for the tip.
