Saturday | American Gods Free Download

Well Hellooo Passerby. I'm back in my little Blogdom for a few moments. Hope you're having a fine weekend. We've had about 6 inches of snow here. I love it, as long as I can mostly enjoy it from inside. Here's what I'm reading right now and it's an awesome read-a four point two five on my five scale:

American Gods



















by Neil Gaiman

"Armed only with some coin tricks and a sense of purpose, Shadow travels through, around, and underneath the visible surface of things, digging up all the powerful myths Americans brought with them in their journeys to this land as well as the ones that were already here. Shadow's road story is the heart of the novel, and it's here that Gaiman offers up the details that make this such a cinematic book--the distinctly American foods and diversions, the bizarre roadside attractions, the decrepit gods reduced to shell games and prostitution. "This is a bad land for Gods," says Shadow."

..Shadow heard himself laugh, over the sound of the music. He was happy. It was as if the last thirty-six hours had never happened, as if the last three years had not happened, as if his life had evaporated into the daydream of a small child, riding the carousel in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, on his first trip back to the States, a marathon journey by ship and by car, his mother standing there, watching him proudly, and himself sucking his melting Popsicle, holding on tightly, hoping that the music would never stop, the carousel would never slow, the ride would never end. He was going around and around and around again . . . Then the lights went out, and Shadow saw the gods..

Here's the link to read it for free all month. Although I refuse to condone it, you'd probably be better off downloading it somewhere else. Here's a Boingboing linky.
