Anansi Boys Neil Gaiman I first became aware of Neil Gaiman a couple of years back when he was a panelist on Cranky Geeks. His novels and he are mentioned a lot on a few of the podcasts that I listen to and I decided to give Anansi Boys a try. I got the audiobook from audible and this one is narrate ...

So I’ve been meaning to post the books I’ve read lately but haven’t gotten around to it. So here they finally are in honor of the new year, the books that I have read and what I thought about them. Riptide Riptide was my first book of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s and I really liked it, enough ...

In the past month, I’ve been on a Neil Gaiman kick. And quite the kick it has been. Neil Gaiman is not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you are interested in visits to and from the graveyard or simply to and from your everyday alternate reality, then Gaiman’s intoxicating brews may well be for you. My ...

His writing, when he’s not trying to write in a specific style (I was told Stardust read like it did beca ...

So after this year of reading books for weeks, maybe months at a time, I finally get Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys and what do I do? I devour it in a week. It sucks because this was a book I wanted to read slowly. Getting a Gaiman book is always a treat, and I’ve been wanting to read this one for a long ...

Published in 2005, Anansi Boys spins a web (pun definitely intended) about a shy Londoner, Fat Charlie, whose father dies and he later finds out his old man was actually a god and that he has a long lost brother that evidently inherited all all the cool genetic god powers from their old man.

Time for another Tag Mash using the accumulated tagging intelligence at LibraryThing. When I did the tag mash of “favorite, weird, mystery” , I was thinking more along the lines of “weird mystery” - talking goldfish witness the crime! the victim isn’t dead, just messing with quantum physics! - rathe ...

The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen This was recommended by my coworker, who has excellent taste in literature. When I first picked up The Corrections, I had a hard time getting into it. It was slow and I didn’t find myself liking Chip, the first character. I stalled in my progress, and moved onto s ...
