Re: What are you reading?
I started rereading Earth Abides, mainly because i found that link to the pdf.
It's an interesting, post-apocalypse novel. I am not that far into it, but it's not too dramatic or action packed, if I remember correctly. It was written in the late 1940's.

Re: What are you reading?
A detective story of short which roughly translates to "Breaking news" or something as cheesy. Author is Liza Marklund, a Swede but decent writer despite that handicap.
For some reason I always feel reluctant to start reading a detective stuff even though it comes with recommendations.
Usually I do end up enjoying the stuff anyways. It's weird.

Re: What are you reading?
I started reading American Gods by Niel Gaiman. I figured that I better waht with the miniseries/movie coming out and all of the spoilers being leaked. It's pretty good. The only one that I have figured out so far is Mr Wednesday.

Re: What are you reading?
Yea that was the only really obvious one for me too, though I had bit of a feeler on few others though.
Interested to see how it'll turn out on screen. I mean there's some visuals I doubt they'll put on screen.

Re: What are you reading?
Before I started reading it (although, I had the intention of doing so) I saw an article on IO9 about the production team had cast Jesus. The comment discussion said something about him not being in the book and I stopped reading for fear of spoilers. So, Jesus is in the production.
I wish taht I could get a day or so where I wasn't too tired, rushed or such to knock out a good proportion of reading. The last three books that I have finished have all been done in the water closet.

Re: What are you reading?
Jesus is in the book, but he's not named and it's so subtle that I didn't remember it from the first time I read it. Shadow spends some time with a man who's hands are covered in carpentry scars. He drinks his wine and the man is anxious as to how it tastes, implying that he made it.Frankennietzsche wrote:Before I started reading it (although, I had the intention of doing so) I saw an article on IO9 about the production team had cast Jesus.

It also mentions the Afghan version of Jesus couldn't even hitch a ride.
One of my favourite books.

I was tempted to immediately start another of his books, but i figured that it might lead to some confusion.
Gaiman has a great short story in some Cthulhu anthology that I have about some guy getting drunk on some ale in a suspicious seaside English town and the fish people who live there.

Re: What are you reading?
Well, I just did a quick search and it turns out the Jesus scene was deleted from the original edition and reinstated for an anniversary edition. That explains why I didn't remember it from the first time I read it.Frankennietzsche wrote:Casual Binger wrote: I don't remember the first part, but I do remember the second.

He's done two follow up novellas featuring Shadow's adventures in the UK. You can find them in his last two short story collections Fragile Things and Trigger Warning.
