Having finished 'The Nine' and a juvenile mystery I won't even bother to name, and ordered 'A Plague Upon Our House" by Dr., Scott Atlas, my ACTUAL next book is a Neil Gaiman novel bought at a yard sale last week. It's "American Gods." It's a horror / fantasy / SF novel that won all kinds of awards (Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, Locus) and accolades when it came out in 2001. I think it may be Gaiman's first book and the book that made him famous, though I'm not sure. I haven't read anything of his before and don't know much about the man. I'll tell you more later.


Days before his release from prison, Shadow's wife, Laura, dies in a mysterious car crash. Numbly, he makes his way back home. On the plane, he encounters the enigmatic Mr Wednesday, who claims to be a refugee from a distant war, a former god and the king of America.

Together they embark on a profoundly strange journey across the heart of the USA, whilst all around them a storm of preternatural and epic proportions threatens to break.

Scary, gripping and deeply unsettling, American Gods takes a long, hard look into the soul of America. You'll be surprised by what - and who - it finds there...

Re: “...fried alligator after each fast. Stuffed wif grits!”
I'd do fried alligator. I've watched enough episodes of 'Naked & Afraid' and 'Outlast' to know that it tastes fantastic... especially to people who are starving.

I've noticed that the starving people never crave grits, though. Hmmm. Why do you suppose that is?
