Yes indeed, I have read the complete works of AJ Hall, and very lovely they were too. Thanks, though. The mere though of them serves to lighten my heart, which is currently a little tired of fandom in general.

Although... I got some interesting post from the USA via Germany today Yay, cool! Please don't feel the need to make intellient comments on my behalf though, heheh!

I congratulate you on your arachnoid bravery.

*blinks* I didn't even notice anything odd about that statement until I read the second comment. And I thought I'd sobered up....

So, anyway, American Gods, good book, yes? I'm in the middle of a reread at the moment (well, actually, it's possibly only the second time I've read it, or maybe the third, I forget - not the nth as it would be with Good Omens, f'r instance), which has possibly predisposed me to see aging deities where they might not have been intended.

(my current excuse for incoherence is tiredness after staying up faaar too late last night reading something very meta. and no alcohol at all. honest.)

Yeah, I really enjoyed American Gods. I didn't expect to, for some reason. It was the first Neil Gaiman book I read. It pushes a lot of my buttons, I think, and then there's the fun of spotting the Gods. I'm just fascinated with the idea of plucking bits of mythology out of the ether and twisting and moulding them into something new but strangely familiar. Heh, how's that for incoherence? Plus I'm in love with the thought of all these old gods hanging around driving taxis and stuff.

So what was this fabulously meta thing you stayed up reading? I used to read a lot of meta stuff, but now I often tend to lose concentration.
